Re: OT: semi-OT: names

>>Well, Moten is written with the Roman alphabet with the addition of four
letters all beginning with a vertical bar (like a "t" without the
horizontal bar). Using the pipe is a way to render them in electronic
media. Those four letters are |s, |z (representing the affricates /t_s/
and /d_z/), |n and |l (representing the palatals - or palatalised, since
this language doesn't make a difference between them - /n_j/ and /l_j/).<<

Ah. I see.

>>What is your last name? I can try to tell you if it means something in
French :).<<

Well, it's Morris, and I once read it came from the French name Maurice,
so...

>>Personal fixation :))) . I've always found the phoenix to be an
interesting mythical creature. And like it I always come back from my
ashes, meaning that you can hurt me as much as you want, I'll always
survive :)) .<<

Ooh, I like that analogy. :)

>>Well, it's only four, so it's not that much. American people with first
name, middle name and last name are only one less than that :)) . Ans
since the samsigoj is never actually used to call someone, names in Moten
are in fact just made of three meaningful parts.

Hehehe... yeah, I guess it isn't that much.
(BTW, I'm sorry this is so late, been busy as of late.)
