<p>Draklar: </p> <hr /> <div>Hello Miadon! <br /> <br /> We do have a slang verb for having sex already, and your new addition does not match with the format of Enkien verbs. Also, it appears to be related to &quot;grrensholo&quot; which seems like a bit of an odd evolutionary association. <br /> <br /> If you are looking for Enkien curses, check out the grammar page for Emphasis http://pswiki.xordan.com/index.php/Enkidukai_Language/Grammar#Emphasis and use constructions like ulber dung and son of an ulber :) Also, we have words for fool and idiot presently as well. I find I get a lot of use out of those :) <br /> <br /> Perhaps some curse phrases could be added to the useful phrases page at some point.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> - Is there any basis for the diacritic sounds? They aren't present in the pronunciation page, nor are they convenient for people who don't use keyboard settings with ó, á, etc ;)<br /> <br /> Name for months shouldn't differ too much from the Common names. The months are Yliakum-speciffic, while in Yliakum Enkidukai always lived very close to the Ylians. The names would be much rather (slightly altered?) borrowings, than cases of coinage. Further supported by the months having Common counterparts -- implies they're borrowed from the Ylian culture.</div>

<p>Draklar: </p> <hr /> <div>Some things I think need clarifying:<br /> <br /> '''E' is generally pronounced similar to the English long A, although closer to British Accents than American. It is considered a close-mid frontunrounded vowel or mid front unrounded vowel, but does not matter much.''<br /> (This sounds more like the short vowel æ than the long 'A')<br /> <br /> '''I' is pronounced like an English long 'E', as in 'teeth'. It is considered a close front unrounded vowel.''<br /> ('teeth' is pronunced with a long 'I', not 'E')<br /> <br /> '''W' is a combination of 'I' and 'U', as in the English &quot;you&quot;''<br /> (The example doesn't say much. In RP English alone 'you' can be pronunced with schwa, short 'U' or even long 'U' if it's strong)<br /> <br /> ''The consonants that exist in Enkien are as follows: B, C/K, D, F/PH, G, H/J, JH, L, M, N, P, S, SH, T, TH, V, and ZH''<br /> (There is no 'R' mentioned and yet it appears in the vocabulary)<br /> <br /> '''ZH' - This is a voiced 'SH', like mixing a 'Z' with a 'SH' ''<br /> (This has a counterpart in English. It appears in such words as 'pleasure', or 'garage'. It's the voiced postalveolar fricative, ʒ.)</div>
