alas the 'aa' is not long... double vowels in narethanaal (with one exception in one word) are separated by a glottal stop... so 'naiaan' would be pronounced /naia?an/

nope... hopefully someday though...

well 'thare' started out as narethanaal's equivilent of the english 's... so 'nicole's monkey' would be 'thare nicole muhnki' of the general format 'thare possessor possessed'... it then expanded to be used as a replacement for the verb 'see'... 'she sees the monkey' becomes 'the monkey possesses her vision' which would be rendered as 'to thare muhnki thare sokra keto'... and has since expanded even further to the above possession of miserlyness meaning saving money and phrases like 'thare tiot sedon' which would best be translated as 'you own trouble' basically meaning the person who the comment is directed to is a troublemaker...

i don't know... though there is a word for a fuzzy blue monkey pattern there is no word for a dog pattern... maybe i should come up with one... ...nicole ===== jiqek qelek nimmekel-Luddiga blå apor-flauschige blaue Affen-tódifai kówainG MANgKIWi-mêndos êzoros faffalos-khami zhaftami nuri xhan-jasánni júñi jakihéññi-Moncaithe gorma clúmhacha-Monhyey ngonul hweyaru ryehyumeru-muncaidhean gorma molach-jhachtaraadkimyo-pushistye sinie obe&#380;iany-zçínesfersaup sülíraup böfparaup-k&#281;dzierzawe niebieskie ma&#322;py-cirmos ke'k majmok-fuzzi serule mini-primate-Hlässöbonakkäa Jonäjë-pluizige blauwe aapjes-menomeno yanubi wayanoso-monkátí kosipi eyoh-macacos nebulosos azuis-pukhnasti blakytni mavpy-sisinios aska atekoir-sakomedikidlukayade __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
