== Examples == | == MLT Examples == | ||
Most pure/single vowels use the silent ''r'': | |||
* a | * a + r = {{x|ar}}: {{x|gyn'ar}} (''child'') | ||
* o | * o + r = {{x|or}}: {{x|or hancii}} (''dig sweet potatoes'') | ||
* ø | * ø + r = ør: {{x|hør}}! (''good'') | ||
* | * m + r = {{x|mr}} (''wife of father's older brother'') | ||
* ng + r = {{x|ngr}} (3 meanings, click to see) | |||
Note, when the ending is nasal, the substitutions in the section below don't apply: | |||
* | * ir + m = {{x|irm}} (''drink'') | ||
* | * ir + n = {{x|irn}}: {{x|lirn}} (''you'' (Second person)) | ||
* | * ur + n = {{x|urn}} | ||
* | * ien + r = {{x|iern}} | ||
* | |||
== Substitutions == | |||
The three root shouting substitutions: | |||
* ir -> {{x|ie}}, as in [[chie]] (''mouse'') | |||
* ur -> {{x|uo}}, as in [[Taiguo]] (''Taiwanese'') | |||
* er -> {{x|ea}}, as in [[azea]] (''older sister'') | |||
Two more substitutions are actually shortcuts: | |||
* a + ie = ae: {{x|bøexbae}} (''not bad'') | |||
* a + uo = {{x|ao}}: {{x|zao}} (''to run'') | |||
The five above extend to these finals: | |||
* u + ie = {{x|uie}}: {{x|muie}} | |||
* i + uo = {{x|iuo}} | |||
* o + ea = oea: {{x|boea}} ({{x|bøea}}) | |||
* o + ae = oae: {{x|koae}} | |||
* i + ao = {{x|iao}} | |||
