<g'adjo> is shit... a bull's shit isn't seen regarded negative per se,
so... <djeqgg'adjo> "tourist's shit" maybe, or <cig:ag'adjo>
"foreigner's shit"...
"We dont want no steenkin' ferrners muck clogging our sewers! Canteven
b'used a' fertilizer!" :)
Hmm... <g'adjoar:in:> "too much shit" maybe, or <ri:g'en:in> "the
shitters", ah the possibilities...
I guess pronounciations are in order...
SAMPA:
<g'adjo> /g_hAdZu/
<djeqgg'adjo> /dZeNg:AdZu/
<cig:ag'adjo> /Sig:Ag_hAdZu/
<g'adjoar:in:> /g_hAdZuAr:in:/
<ri:g'en:in> /ri:g_hen:in/
P.S: Webified resource on genitive s, apostrophe and friends, anyone?
