Well, |the et|. You'd still read it [aR t_he 'De]
though. Kerno has generally avoided dashes in its
orthographic perambulations; though it has used
dots to separate certain affixes, particularly
attached to verbs. You don't generally find them
anymore, and never did very commonly. The dash is
commonly used to separate verb and suffixed
object pronoun. Like: ne gouaz.me-el pepill 'l
tew sezlón! (don't tell me no stories, now!) Only
-el and -al (and the plurals -els and -als) are
attached with dashes; other pronouns could / can
be attached with dots. Usually you find
gouazme-el in modern orthography.
You might also notice that me and el are two
vowels that need to be kept separate, though it's
not common to separate such pronouns in writing
anyway. And in this case you'd use -y- to
separate them on account of their being viewed as
a liason within a unit, rather than a liaison
between units (like the original example). I
guess you could write it gouazme-y-el then.
By "units" I mean different phrases. "The" and
"et" are parts of two different phrases, "et"
being the conjunction and needs to be properly
heard if not outright stressed. "Me" and "el" can
be elided safely to a certain extent, hence the
use of the soft elision.
So, I guess that's the lesson on vowel liaison
(that word seems to work best) in Kerno!

:-P .
None that I can think of. Just that certain
prepositions get associated with certain
constructions. For some reason, "ar" got
associated with Christmas while "do" got
associated with New Year.

Well, I can wait! :)

Cool.
