Re: word derivation in sabyuka (some principles)

once you've mastered that, try your hand ( ? tongue ) at the
linguo-dental and ( possibly my favourite sound OF ALL TIME ) the linguo
labial trills ;- }

something tells me i need to make a language with lots of linguo-labials
. . . !

Never will I be greatful enough, I almost get it :)))))))). The problem
was I tried to trill without breathing : when I concentrate myself on my
breath and not on the tongue, I can do an almost good voiceless 'rr'. I
just have to change my habits fo putting the tongue behind the alveols
and then practise a little (or a lot), but I have now understood how to
get it. Then, I will go and see my spanish teacher to say her your tip
is better than hers (which consisted of prounoucing 'todo' 'tolo' faster
and faster). Thanks again.
