the verb suryer means to rise rather than to resurrect or rise again
(*rhisuryer), so surreith is the correct for to use here.  I haven't had
a need for the verb resurrect yet.

Hooray the Rumiyaan!  I don't think I've seen a description of this
language on this list.  So now I'm demanding.  Tell more!  Tell more!

I would ask this just before I go away to visit family for six days.  Oh
well, I was already anticipating the thrill of coming back to 1000+
messages.

And do we complain?  No, I tell you!  No!  On another note I started
writing up a formal grammar of Vokhoman last week.  I went looking for
the description of its vowels transcribed into a late Aramaic script,
but I found I could not find.  Perhaps it was eaten by the Hard Drive,
a'll diawl!  Can I ask you to suggest again.  Vokhoman has a six vowel
system /aeio%u/, which can be long or short.  They are represented by
the letters alaph, he, waw, yudh, e (A H W Y E).

the original system was:
A /a/
AA /a:/
H /a/ *word final on feminine nouns and adjectives
W /o/ or /u/
AW /u:/
EW /o:/
Y /e/ or /i/
AY /i:/
EY /e:/
WY /%/ * this may be pointed to avoid confusion with /v(e/i)/ sometimes
spelt this way.
EWY /%/
