Mingo1 F Torwei:
Lady C.P Ph.D Kekai:
Recent developments indicate a phonological process of deletion of consonants resulting in double vowels. However, for some of the words below, we use a single vowel even when it is obvious that the words have lost their proto forms by deleting the consonants. E.g. dighi=look becomes dii but to make for ease we use single vowel di=look.
God willing we shall examine some of them subsequently. But for today consider the following two letter words.
bo= come
bi=ask
da= to fish with hook
du=to inherit widow
di=look
do=salute
fa=finish
fụ=salt
fᴉ=die
ga=serve
gẹ=write
go=read
haan=exclamation
ka=mature
kọ=remaining
kụ=hoot
la=reach
lẹ=whisper?
lụ=palm nut
mọ=hunger
mu= go
na=hear
ní=deaf
nì=to smell
pa=to go out
pi=to deny
pọ=water side
si=20
ta=wife
tu=bottom
ya=dry
yọ=drive/paddle
zi=to deliver
gba=talk
gbẹ=pay
gbo=can’t get the right word
kpe=park/relocate
kpọ=to hit the feet on something
Vowels: a e ẹ i ᴉ o ọ u ụ
