I stole the English word for mayor because I haven't worked through government systems for the conculture who uses this language. (At the point when this form of the language is spoken, though, they probably would still have kings for cities.) |

If it's pronounced anything like it is in X-SAMPA, then yes, I can pronounce it. _________________ Join us at: The Renewed Spirits Forum!

Oh, the f is dropped. OK.

Dang. You must like using consonants as syllable nuclei. (It also really helps with the word, I can almost pronounce it thanks to the X-SAMPA.) |
