Ok, now I'm beginning to understand. I don't know *anything* about Irish, or any other Celtic language for that matter. The only reason I chose "in" as the definite article was because I liked the sound. But I do realize that the phonology does look Celtic. But that's only because I'm very influenced by Sindarin and Quenya, *when it comes to = phonology*. I'm sorry if I led you to believe something else. The only thing I know about mutation is from Sindarin, everything else is completely coincidental. Rinya is OVS and ergative. Please don't tell = me=20 that's Celtic. :) Daniel Andreasson
