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. :)
