Creation and Usage Notes

Of course the one nominalized form I absolutely use I screw up... The terminative suffix -n comes from Proto-Munja'kin *aŋ, which means that when the suffix -ri is added, it's supposed to take a [ɡ] as its epenthetic consonant—not a [d]. That's what made it cool! But of course I forgot this on the one stupid word that actually showed up in the script... Classic. -David J. Peterson 16:26, 30 May 2020 (PDT)
