learn Miranei script - lesson 2


I switched calligraphy pens. The other one was running out of ink and looked awful. This pen is rounder, but I think that it looks fine.

Ok. So we have the 'd' and 'dr' consonant sounds, and the 'e' vowel sound with its variants.




The first word is savadádr, or 'do then' the root verb is 'sav' which means 'do'.
The tenses of verbs are:
'n' - past
'a' - present
'ee' - future


so sava is do(present) and 'dádr' is an adverb (which are always suffixes) meaning 'then'.


the next word is a pronoun form of 'be'. These do not have verb tense modifiers as they are already modified.


orlee - we are
orfee - we will
orleen - we were


the last word 'begie'or' means 'both', another pronoun.


Now this gives me a chance to mention a punctuation rule. Whenever a vowel sound is followed by another vowel sound, they are separated by the check-like mark. But there is no hesitation in pronunciation. so the word would sound like 'begEEor'


remember the Miranei runs right to left, opposite to english.


cheers,


Kurt
