Re: [glosalist] susana and the peacock

“Tomorrow’s Heirlooms”

“Susan had always disliked the peacock.” english/glosa bridge:- susan dd always no liking th peacock . susana pa pan-tem no amo u pavo .

I think that it would be easier to speak a sentence in glosa when its words begin with a consonant and end with a vowel so “susan” becomes “susana” pavo-> pavo cristatus.here science has used its own ial, pavo cristatus means the same in any language . this glosa will avoid capital letters. many languages have no capitals so this ial might perhaps be more universal without them.

in this version of glosa, the verb phrase will almost always begin with an introducing word such as “pa”, “fu”, “du” or “sio”. these words usually also indicate time - “pa” indicates the past.

the noun phrase will usually begin with an introducing word such as “u” or “plu”. these words also tell the number, “u” is one/singular. the object section has the noun phrase “u parvo”. sometimes a noun phrase is the name of someone and may have no intro word:- “susana” . this word will not be in a general dictionary.

more traditional glose-pe would prefer to have capitals, glosa seems to have no rules to help placing them so i shall put one at the beginning of a sentence and at the beginning of a word such as a name and that is not found in a general dictionary’ “Susana pa pan-tem no amo u pavo”
