ooh ! i get to do expletives !
problem : bac doesn't have any concept of religion,
and i'm reluctant to give it the sex taboo, so i'm a
bit short on potential obscenities
the verb |Pok| 'to hit' can be used to mean 'to fuck'
but it's not very rude ( you do have to distinguish
|licek Ponk| 'they're fucking' from |licek Ponkk|
'they're fighting' ! )
so it's time to introduce an expletive pro-form, which
is going to be |jahkib| /'dZaxkIb/. no meaning, but it
ranks about about 7 on the rudity richter scale
so :
Jahkiberer* — sot Karh wher
JAHKIB-er-er — SOT KARh WhER
/'dZaxkIbE4E4 _ sOt kar\ WE4/
#-IMP-yourself — I hate* \you
* you could also say Jahkiber, as there's no need for
the verb to be reflexive
** topic depleted : i hate you but you don't
(necessarily) hate me
