I'm so delighted for you, Peter! What
is the age difference between you and
your sister, if you don't mind my asking?
(maybe you do!) At any rate, the word
for "delight" in Teonaht is _toviele_:
/'tuvjEle/ accent on the first syllable.
If I were making it a name in a novel, I
suppose I would write it "Tuvyelay."
No good way to express pronunciation
in this manner, though!
Alternate pronunciation: /tu'viEle/
Favored in northern Teonhea.
