well, there's at least one lurker who'd have more problems with english than
with polish...

   ke,dzierzawe niebieskie mal~py
   [kEn\d_z\e'ZavE n\e'b_jesk_je 'mawp1]
   (SAMPA; \ - for alveolo-palatals; writing 'a' i mean central vowell which
is nor rounded nor unrounded - how it's in SAMPA? '6'?)

   Feminine nouns with stems ending with 'hard' (? 'firm' or whatever -
anyway not palatalised nor aleolo-palatal) consonants take '-y' ('-i' after
'k' and 'g') in plural.
