Grekelin
Pronunciation (IPA)
- IPA: (Standard Grekelin) /ˈu.mo/ [ˈu.mo]
- IPA: (South Slavic Grekelin) [ˈu.mo]
- IPA: (North Slavic Grekelin) [ˈu.mo]
Etymology
From Old Grekelin ὅμω (omo), from Ancient Greek ὅμως (hómōs). Cognate with Modern Greek όμως. The correct form according to the loss of genders in Grekelin would be uma since the ending -a originates from -os. However in this case the -o(s) was preserved as it is not a gendered noun, with the final -s even being preserved in some dialects.
Adverb
- However, but
- Dzso, umo y tökíletesza (Good, but not perfect)
Alternative forms
- umos' - More conservative form
- uma - Modern Grekelin-adjusted version, rare and considered incorrect
- Nevertheless, in spite of
- Umo, y viszavolna (Nevertheless, he did not retreat)
