Re: Nuggets from Nicolas C. Bodman’s “Spoken Amoy Hokkien”
Hi Mark, Could it be confusion about the tone marks? Bodman's "tǐt-thaǔ" would be "tịt thàu" or "tit8-thau3" in POJ romanization (直 by itself would be tît in Bodman, but he always indicates tone sandhi in compound words). Checking tit8-thau3 in Douglas, I get tịt-thaù-j...

Hi again, I thought I should explain why I think it's a waste of time to try to find a connection between those languages: If you look within the IndoEuropean languages, you'll find a lot of words which are obviously related across the entire continent. I'll give you a few examples: (1) night - prot...

Dear Heruler, Sorry to hear about your bad experience in LA - any kind of theft is extremely annoying, hope you didn't lose too much!
