ARGH! Embarrassingly enough, I used the regular infinitive/imperative instead of the generic infinitive as the root. So that should *really* be: Karesjanad habozaz baraín, sjarahie mabodaz. In Kirschenbaum: Kare'Sanad? ha'bOzaZ ba'raIn, Sara'hie ma'bOdaZ. (Incidentally, the more I use Kirschenbaum the more I like it, though I confess I haven't tried out the alternatives. Now all I need to do is save up so I can order the IPA CD so I know what all those sounds on the chart *sound* like, since my boyfriend's computer refuses to render sounds on phonetics webpages for some reason...OC it's a dying computer anyway.)
