eo Jeohuδjeong

Dom·lathṁar (**de-lath-amhar > deltamhar?) in mbróŋae den césand (the "bróngae" met us in the "césand") (direct evolution to Anbirese: **Teon:laδveor eo m-prongae djeon χjeseond, Judeo-Anbirese: זאלתאבאר א מ-בּרוֹעא זאן שייסאנט אַם Dzaelþever e m-bronge dzen shėsend am)

  • no case unlike Standard Anbirese
  • marks def direct objects with ljeo
  • synthetic verbs unlike Ăn Yidiș and Eevo
  • Dueum beopchik but just for initial ni/nj?
