Sent to David and Dorothea Salo, this letter s actually a slightly modified version<ref>In fact, they vary only in their salutation: the original reads ''Yūdīs Masfīus Andrayā Sīlir-ad''.</ref> of one originally written for Andrew Sihler. Both versions were likely sent in early January 1998. | Sent to David and Dorothea Salo, this letter s actually a slightly modified version<ref>In fact, they vary only in their salutation: the original reads ''Yūdīs Masfīus Andrayā Sīlir-ad''.</ref> of one originally written for Andrew Sihler.

:Yūdīs Masfīus<sup>[SIC]</sup><ref name="Masfīus">It really should be "Yūdīs Masfīld dās Salūnas-ad" [ˈjuːtiːz masˈfiːł̥t | :Yūdīs Masfīus<sup>[SIC]</sup><ref name="Masfīus">It really should be "Yūdīs Masfīld dās Salūnas-ad" [ˈjuːtiːz masˈfiːł̥t tɑːssaˈłuːnazat]. The error results from blindly changing the name of the addressee in the salutation, without paying attention to how this changes the phonetic environment. I have however kept this in the phonetic description, as that is how it is read in the soundfile.</ref> tās Salūnas-ad | ||
