So ring/rang/rung, sing/sang/sung, drink/drank/drunk, sink/sank/sunk, shrink/shrank/shrunk, hang /hung, sit/sat, and spit/spat, altho irregular now, derive from a regular vowel alternation in PIE. These are all counterexamples to the claim that verbs tend to become more regular.goofyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760721504519661112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-41548705617269024482009-12-09T19:20:38.966+00:002009-12-09T19:20:38.966+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.goofyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760721504519661112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-29776656710184138382009-12-09T12:40:04.022+00:002009-12-09T12:40:04.022+00:00How could you have "fundamental pillars"...How could you have "fundamental pillars"?M.H.

Warna (colour) becomes warna-warni to become multicoloured. There's basa-basi for the small-talk which is a social obligation out there, TuLaLit refers to zoning out for a moment or being a bit slow on the uptake (actually an onomatopoiea referring to the sound a phone makes when it can't connect, said with a slightly higher pitch on each syllable) and dag-dig-dug to refer to a hefty heartbeat (such as through nerves).Burgundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08868226301755852892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2629301231907528990.post-41501302299149837592009-12-09T09:58:59.856+00:002009-12-09T09:58:59.856+00:00Ich bin ein Husar

Mind you, hiphop, clip clop and tick tock skip the A. <br /><br />The pattern, and I'm entirely unsure of this, seems always to start with I and continue to A and/or O.
