I have been bothered by the lack of contractions in C-a for quite some time. Most of the Romance langs are full of them -- della, qu'el, no, l', al, etc., etc. But, until now, I've only known of two sets of contractions in C-a: of-the and for-the. dji ul = djul dji al = djal dji il = djil peu ul = peu'l peu al = peu'l peu il = peu'l Earlier this week I discovered another set: to-the. ad ul = dul ad al = dal ad il = dil This new word set will probably necessitate slight edits to much of the C-an corpus of texts, but the gain is well worth the work.
