In Tokcir (aka NGL), with traditional verb system. Dikava sase à tokes: xomava òl tok. dik-a-v-a : fight-2nd person-imperative-present sase : death à : of tok-es : language-plural xom-a-v-a : create-2nd person-imperative-present òl : a/an/some (indefinite article) tok : language Using PVS would be rendered as: Da dika sase à tokes: da xoma òl tok. Where {da} is the present imperative proverb. Using VTT, we will have: Vu xa dik sase à tokes: vu xa xom òl tok. Where {vu} is you-singular, and {xa} is the VTT justative modal. Probably usign {ni}: first person inclusive, would be better. (all letters have their IPA values, except for <x> which sounds /S/ All words stressed on first syllable). -- Carlos Th
