[comments] Menu 1. Negation determiner 2. Repeated elements
[top]Negation determiner


Within a negation, the determiner ÿo becomes iota (just like "a" would become "any" in english).



"I am not a king" = Wań wtais iota iydmir - wɑŋ tɑjs jotɑ jʏdmɪɾ


[top]Repeated elements
A verb cannot be repeated in the same sentence. Instead, the invariant word git is used.
"The cat is big, the dog is beautiful" = O emá wtéis krewo, o dawg git valyr - /o emɑ̤ təjs kʰɾewo o dɒwgʰ gʰɪt vɑlʏɾ/


Two consecutive conjugated forms that are not related to each other (in a relative clause for example) are separated using yn.

"...that was when we were children" = ...em, wtéḡ yn wtaink y zietin ham - /em təwk ʏn tɑjŋk øj ðjetɪn ʁ̩ɑm/
Also, a pronoun is replaced by yhri instead of being repeated, even if it's differently declinated. In the following example, the first pronoun is declinated with dative, but since dative and genitive are the same, the second pronoun is replaced by yhri.
"give us today our daily bread" = enelistéus iowsğ yhwo o béz hi tma tÿaka' yhri - /enelɪstəws jowsk ʏʍo o bəð ʁ̩ɪ tmɑ tɕɑkʰɑ ʏʁ̩ɾɪ/
