Forgot phonetic information.  :-)  Also, _sutakif ta_ should be _sutakif
taa_, due to a phonetic rule that forbids monomoraic forms.  Ta is still
the underlying form, since when it combines or takes inflectional forms,
_ta_, not _taa_, is the form used.

D'oh, and another error, _latia_ "(an)other" is a so-called "Hidden s"
word, which means that there's an /s/ that shows up at the end of the
stem in certain forms.  Thus _sulatiaf_ should've been _sulatiasaf_,
with the allomorph -af for -f due to the final /s/

Klaffav piggaziala sutakif taa uizana sutakif sulatiasaf
['kl_0AffAv peggA'Zala su'taCef 'ta: wi'zana su'taCef sula'tSasaf]
(_piggaziala_ may also be found as [peNgA'Zala], [Ng] is a common, tho
fairly stigmatized, pronunciation of /gg/)
