Interesting. I was working on something for Laafaah earlier today - a
postpostion |ha| to mean "a" or "one" of something - e.g. "putin" ["pMt1J]*
would be "putin ha", pronounced ["pMt1JJ1] - but I wondered it it would
sound too dorky.
*"putin" = "the baubble", "this baubble" or "my baubble" depending on
context.
