pha tslas lank-au om=me lim=moj pek khan pha lim=moj AND Earth entirety-ADJ PST=be COM=one abstraction.CL language AND COM=one pʰa tslas 'lankaʊ ɔm'me lim'mɔɪ pek kʰan pʰa lim'mɔɪ pek thaputs abstraction.CL language.JARGONIC pek 'tʰapʊts Despite being jargonic/technical rather than simple like the English word "speech," thaputs was chosen here because in the source language, Ladoçei Htoleiþe, it literally means "way of speaking." It would also be possible to say "pekim" instead, which literally means "speaking" or "speech." In this case, the redundant classifier "pek" would be eliminated before it. |
