(maybe you do!)  At any rate, the word

for "delight" in Teonaht is _toviele_: >>

    My mother is forty, I am twenty, and my sister is 0.  ~:)  Like Drowning
by Numbers, but in a good way....  ;)  You know, when I first saw it, the
pronunciation that came to mind was /t_ho.vi.'jE.li/, because I make sure to
pronounce every name as an Southern Californian who sees it would.  I like
"Toviele", though.  :)  (Oh, and my name is David.  Unless you were being
cute by giving me a nickname via my last name, which is fine by all means ~:D
