Re: Hutt

Is it a spelling error or does ootman have a plural form, ootmians.  This
seems the only example of clear plural marking.  Maybe Hutt does not have
consistant pluralisation.

There seem to be some use of doubling that may be adverbial or
interjective:
Chut-Chut!  Never mind!
me wompity du pom pom   I'd squash you right now

I wonder if the word _da_ is a auxilliary:
Hi chuba da nago?       What do you want?
Tolpa da bunky dunko    *Then you can go home
Cha skrunee da pat      Don't count on it

The last example may mean that _da_ is also a preposition:
Oh da Hutt...           As in Hutt...

Also the interjection _chess ko_ seems to mean 'careful!'
