Thanks for that, George, and likewise to Mark for chiming in.

I love Tsolyani, and continue to study it as I have the time to do
so. Way back when, I was hoping I could get together a core group of
people who might want to try to create some additional "texts" in
Tsolyani that could be useful to us to try to translate. Nothing
huge, at least to start, but at least try to start using the language,
and maybe learn some things we didn't know before. If Phil still
reads this list, he could help guide us.

Then again, also, way back when, he was encouraging people to go
through the Primer, and work the exercises, and he was willing to
correct them. I think that's a great idea, and tonight, or tomorrow,
I'll do lesson one and post my answers in a file on the site here.
That way, if you don't want to see them, you don't have to.

... Miserable Yahoo and it's mangling of accents. I specifically posted this using the web interface, and checked the preview to make sure it looked ok. Sorry...

Well, I finished the primer about a year ago (in Tsolyani script, handwritten, no less), but I'm all rusty now. I can spend 10 minutes a night and re-do them....

... I'm no authority, but I would just string the roots together. Thus "eye-spoon" : /káyi/+/bavák/ = /kŕyibavákikh/, /kŕyibavákyal/. The main accent...
