Use for some sort of critique
 
[[Category:Angai]]
''πăraqliτ'' = advocate, attorney, etc.
 
''askolå, asτråτeghyå, ukhlusin''
 
borrow ''Mabinogion'' as ''Mabhnoghin''?
 
borrow -ium/-ion as -in: opsarion > uπsărin 'culinary fish', -in is also a diminutive which is used a lot
 
sP sT sq -> asP asT asq (skhole > askola)
 
change o to a? bodhi > badhi
 
== Phonology ==
Consonants: same as Aramaic but no pharyngeals and no ts and added emphatic p; emphatic stops written π τ (capital Ʈ) q.
 
v = bh
 
Coronal stops/spirants are dental.
 
Native words only use bgdkpt stops which lenite like in Aramaic; φ > h
 
Vowels: i e a å o u ă /i e æ A o u ä/
 
Stress shifts to ultimate stress, and then to the last non-ultimate non-shva syllable
 
== Morphology ==
=== Nouns ===
Nouns have 3 genders (m, f, n), 2 numbers (sg, pl) and 3 cases (nom, gen, prep/dat), and also inflect for definiteness. The dative is used for indirect objects, and sometimes for prepositional objects. When a locative preposition can use both the dative and the accusative, the dative denotes being at the location and the nominative denotes motion towards the location.
 
turn pl acc to pl nom (happened to Irish definite articles)
 
The pl gen of nouns declines as an -o/-ā adjective.
 
The definite article is ''hid-/hiC-'' (when not leniting) or ''hī'' (when leniting).
