It certainly doesn't encroach on Vallés territory.

I have a question about verbs. It seems like the verb forms, since they end in
{(a(r))} all come from the 1st conjugation infinitive, but the stress is not on
the {a}. Was there a stress shift you didn't mention? Or did I miss it?

don't have the fonts for, including some that don't seem to do anything.
