I added some detail to Shonkasika's intonation and phonology. Two identical vowels in sequence are not coalesced into a long vowel, but are pronounced with contrasting pitch; if one of the vowels is stressed, it is pronounced with a higher pitch. Otherwise, the second vowel is pronounced with a lower pitch.
I'm using an acute accent for higher pitch and and a grave accent for lower pitch. Let me know if I should represent it a different way! saamo /sa'.á.mo/ noodle (nom. indef. sg.) saamomo /sa.à'.mo.mo/ of (a) noodle (gen. indef. sg.) I also introduced a passive verb with no active form: goteli to be born

I've changed Shonkasika's past tense endings, changing the past indicative ending to -an, the past subjunctive to -ais, and the past optative to -on.
glainde, glaindan we see, we saw That's all for grammar for now. I added a couple of words to the lexicon: skime adj. false, fake faiwo cel. letter (message) Skimen tisasten shevi vanduzne. False friends walk (around) here. |
