Creation and Usage Notes

I wrote out tsotskai tsotskai here, but that was wrong. Both [t] and [ts] come out as [tʃ] when the diminutive -ka is added. What a travesty. Devastating. Errors are like Credence Clearwater Revival songs: they're far too great in number, and their very existence tears at my soul with steely claws.
