Just a couple misc additions, when you get around to it John:
HAT: circumflex added to a vowel in orthographies, such as that used for
Jabêm or Kâte. E.g., ê is 'e i gat hat' (if you need a reference: Niles
1996:xxi, n. 4)
TEL: 'n i gat tel' refers to the letter n with hook used to denote the
velar nasal (ng) in orthographies such as that used for Jabêm or Kâte
And a question: what other Tok Pisin terms are used to refer to special
letters used in various orthographies, e.g., the gb and dz sounds in Kâte?
BTW John, in case you haven't heard praise for a while, the organisation of
the web site is wonderful: easy to use and understand, fast, full of useful
information! Thanks for your great efforts!
