I don't think Ineya Khara Ansha fish;
Rakhe'buitya would say:
|en buity| (the last is the palatized |t|)
Lakhabrech would say:
|naa viwa|
for ordinary conversation, or when someone pretends to be a fish; if that
person was a priestess/midwife representing the Fish Goddess - apparently
there are Lakhabrech who worship her:
|naasha viwa|
- the |-sha| being a predicate suffix.
