AFMC, "butterfly" is one of my many tribute-words; that is, words that have the mangled form of someone's name. The Asha'ille word for "butterfly" is _ánela_ /'AnElA/ (Unicode /ˈɑnɛlɑ/), from my cousin Angela, who was really into all things butterfly when she was younger. -- AA http://conlang.arthaey.com/ (Gmail WARNING: watch the Reply-To!)
