Re: Trans: 'I love you'

- Kench (a 'sister' language of English):

Idge lùvi' stee [IdZ 'lVvI sti:].

"lùvi' stee" is in fact a mandatory transformation of _*lùviþ þee_.

With a different word order it's possible to say _Þee lùviþ idge_
[Di: 'lVvID IdZ] (as well as _Lùvi' stee idge_, _Lùviþ idge þee_, etc,
with various subtle shades of meaning involved).


- Oidingese (another lang inspired by the history of English, now Romance,
with basically Latin-to-Anglo-Norman-to-English sound history):

t'aim [teIm]

Isn't this shortest?

With a stress on 'you': _aim tay_ [eIm teI]. With a stress on 'I':
_t'aim igh_ [teI'maI].
