to vorgu sta pbwiki da tene "kwajay" kay da bu tene "kuajai".
kyu da tene ger vorgu gerjay (gerjai?).
in english: because, if i get you right you say: guajai is in the vocab. and gwajay isn't - but clearly
the opposite is the case at pbwiki. Or did you mean to say kuajai SHOULD be in the vocab
(because it is the preferred spelling) and kwajay SHOULD not be?

sorry for being obsessional...
cheers

My original sentences meant (I hope): The vocabulary has the word "kuajai".  The vocabulary doesn't have "kwajay".
I said it this way because I couldn't find a word for "should", "must", "ought", etc.
I had already learned that "i" and "u" in diphthongs became "y" and "w", which I verified by comparing with other words in the vocabulary.

"gwa" doesn't seem to be in the dictionary at all.  I suppose you meant "kwa".
