Vadi: Difference between revisions

# Iyyaħmi's transcription ''ulátane'' versus Schumann's ''úla tane'' stems from the fact that the ''Širkattarnaft'' is written ''u-lā-'a-ta-ne'' which contains the medial glottal stop, rather than the expected ''ū-la ta-ne''.  Traditionalists ask why the word was not written as ''u-lā-ta-ne'' instead.  The Šibbūru School does point out this spelling also exists in other texts, suggesting that the morpheme is actually a clitic, ''=tane'', which cliticizes to either the main verb or a coverb.  The ''Širkattarnaft'' suggests some instances where it undergoes mutation, but no indication that it triggers mutation itself has been found.

The following samples come primarily from Schumann.  Texts from Simon, another Traditionalist, are immediately identifiable by the <ş> grapheme to represent /s̺/ which he concedes is likely a member of the Vadi phonemic inventory.  The last text comes from Tashunka, whose gloss indicates where mutation and assimilation has occurred with the cliticization of ''=hen'' to the the interrogative clitic ''=rin''; Iyyaħmi has provided the denormalized transcription for Tashunka's gloss.
