Actually, just "She hight Mary". I've found one use of
this verb in modern literature thus far. I was _quite_
surprised. That verb is middle voice in English (if I
recall right) and didn't take the usual -th / -s
endings. I leave it to the OE/ME experts to put me
right.
Also, I forgot to stick a discourse marker in the
Talarian example I gave in my last message. So:
Hexonomataahti maasana-he.
Padraic.
