Vadi: Difference between revisions

The Scriptum corpora were written entirely in the indigenous Minhast Širkattarnaft. While the Širkattarnaft, an abugida, works quite well for the Minhast language, it has presented a major challenge to Vadists in determining the phonology and phonotactics of Vadi. There are certain characters representing Minhast phonemes, e.g. /x/, that never occur in the texts.  Several spelling variants and inconsistencies in the earliest dated texts are wildly aberrant from both within the texts and that of later documents.  The extreme spelling discrepancies and anomalies, which steadily occurred less frequently in later texts, suggest that the litigants' had started out with a minimal knowledge of the Širkattarnaft (Iyyaħmi, 2015, pp. 52–54).
