Phonology
Consonants
- p ~ b (word medially, may become phonemically β but realised as all sorts of things?)
- t ~ d (word medially, may become -ð- (th?))
- th (þ/θ?) (word medially, may become -ð-) - may be pronounced word initially as a dental plosive.
- k ~ g (word medially generally becomes g)
- l m n r (? Angloësque?) y w (dunno about h but probably not).
reusing iski word (fish) > iki/ika + -(i)(l)la for "at" + anglicisation –> "eckella" (as though it were a South Australian place name).
(ithki > iki through assimilation).
Ikilla = place of the fish.
-itha = plural marker? (since I have a thing for that recently)
ikithilla = place of the fishes (probably redundant, plural marker maybe will only be used for emphasis?)
Final vowels probably elided depending on the speaker ala many Australian aboriginal languages. Thus ikitha > /egeð/.
