Re: fuzzy blue monkeys(was Re: .sig)

Seeing as I'm partly responsible for evilly going round and forcing a new
.sig upon you, in Eta'bnanni (a'=a acute, pronounced /rA_Lmn{_Ln/), it'd
be:

(T: Transliteration of native orthographies.
 N: A more phonetic alternative romanisation.
 I: X-Sampa IPA.
NB: A morphemic breakdown in the alternative romanisation.
In the T, ' is an acute accent on the previous letter.
In the N, " is an umlaut and ` a grave accent on the previous letter.
nG and Ng=eng)

(There are two tones, low and normal.)

 T: to'difai     ko'wainG   MANgKIi.
 N: to"`rifa"    xo`ma"`    manGkii
 I: "T3\_Lrip\{  "xO_Lm{_L  mANki:
NB: to"`rifa-i   xo`ma-i`   mangki-i
    blue-NOM     fuzz-INSTR monkey-NOM

`Fuzzy blue monkey', also, `The blue monkey with fuzz', although the
latter would best have the word 'ko'wainG to'difai MANgKIi'.
