	In some dialects the apostrophe is avoided by the addition of the letter ‘m’. So ''Verõ'' (I swear) can take the form ''Veromen'' (I will swear) in the future tense. (This construction is also used in expressing the Ablative case for plural nouns – more on this later). The name ''‘Veromen’'' means ‘one who will be faithful’ ie one who will swear allegiance. Both forms are acceptable, so ''Donomen'' and ''Dono’n'' both mean I shall give.		In some dialects the apostrophe is avoided by the addition of the letter ‘m’.
