Hello together. In the LCK, Marc mentions the language of Xurnaš. There is no grammar up yet, but he gives us this sentence:
Ir nevu jadzies mnošudacij. Toc šizen ri tos bunjači šasik rili. Tos denjic šuš bunji dis kezi. Syu šačo cu šuš izraugi.
"My niece is dating a sculptor. She can see no flaws in him. He hopes one day to govern a province. Myself, I don't envy that province."
What would this sentence be in Axunashin?

I would think [š] is /S/ and [č] is /tS/
maybe Toc = 2Pf and Tos = 2Pm if it has gender...

Somebody attempted to break down the sentence and Mark provided some etymologies here:

By the way, I would like to add, in the politest possible terms, to the general clamor/impatience to see Xurnaš.
I've been trying to figure out the sound changes; I think I'm seeing a Japanese-like t > ts / _u but also / _i...and vowel syncope leading to those scary mn- clusters.

Oooooooooooooooooh our first look at the language! Now all that's left is the rest of it and the writing system if it has one ( I hope it does ).

OMG! I can't believe I over looked that!
It's really nice! I like the first 2 of the hand written versions.
