Creation and Usage Notes

Sssssssssssssoooooooooo... Evidently in episode 101, I used the phrase an za'oi—just like that. Later on, I got this really cool idea (not being sarcastic here) to have an epenthetic [d] appearing when words beginning with certain classes of sounds followed an. Very cool, very cool, only...I forgot about the line in episode 101. Just forgot! I mean, in terms of what you hear, there's virtually no difference, since that epenthetic [d] is quite natural, but I didn't actually write it down in the script, so...yeah. An inconsistency. Yet another mistake—by me. Awesome. -David J. Peterson 03:43, 1 June 2020 (PDT)
