In Tirelat, which I'm trying to revive, "gavikuri u lhat" -- it would've been "gavikuri a lhat" since "lhat" was "A" gender, but I'm going back to a previous version of the language before I introduced gender. I suppose it could be "lhategavikuri" as a single word compound, but Tirelat tends not to have such long compounds. "Gavikuri" is derived: gavi -ku -ri exist-CAUS-ACTION Note that the "lh" in "lhat" should be written as a Polish slashed "l" if possible. In Lindiga, which has been undergoing some spelling reforms, the current version is "verlás rsinkat" [vE`"lAs "s`INgAt]. verl -ás rsinka -t create-ACTIVITY language-GEN -- languages of Azir------> ---<http://www.io.com/~hmiller/lang/index.html>--- hmiller (Herman Miller) "If all Printers were determin'd not to print any @io.com email password: thing till they were sure it would offend no body, \ "Subject: teamouse" / there would be very little printed." -Ben Franklin
