Looking For Idioms! Please Send (a) Post! (2015-08-22 11:09:06) :

I can make some of this out, but not nearly enough—abbreviations such as d. i. v. which I can't find in dictionaries. Also, why the Byzantine Greek numbers θ̄ and τ̄?

Allophony is fairly prevalent across morpheme and word boundaries, given the divergent syllable structures there. As vowels cannot precede stops, a nasal is inserted before initial stops: [b]bearanna[/b] "to be", but [b]túinde mbearanna[/b] "I am". Words ending in a liquid assimilate to the following consonant, as [b]canheon[/b] "canyon"[plus]Oh, shut up, I'm too lazy to think of real words....
