G

There's some extra question around the translation of G, as tu/te or just T.

Examples from official:

  • qut = big (appears to be just T)
  • tate = huge (huge should be tati if G=T, or tatui/tatei if G=TU/TE. May be running into a 'drop vowel if X' rule)
  • tudy = girl (appears to be just T)
  • teuod = goat (Here we may overlap with a potential eu=o, that Xorus brought up)
  • tzaor = she-goat (while sh=tz, we seem to be missing some letters here, so this might have been massaged/there may be structure rules I'm not seeing.)

If G is just T straight up, there's no call for special substitution rule of gh=tt, since both g and h would be t naturally. This may be another mark in favor of G=T. MOURNE (talk) 07:52, 2 February 2018 (CST)

O

Question of whether O may also translate as eu, not just u.

Examples that support may be overlapping with G, which is also in question above.

  • teuriz = godless, but is the o=eu or u?

ST[R]

Uncertain on whether the ST substitution (v) is also the same as an STR substitution (otherwise vd/vb)

Argument for:

  • vur = strong, v=st(r?), u=o, r=ng
