Re: What do you do when a conword happens to match a slur?

If that should happen... I do nothing. And not only that, I disavow all knowledge of such a slur.

Of course, Cleopatra is my middle name. The Queen of Denial.

And sorry for misspelling Rireinturie Rireinutire. That was entirely on me. I seem to have a knack for mixing up letters. (cf. "Reyzardren")

Re: What did you accomplish today?

Re: What did you accomplish today?

So I've been working, casually, on Rireinutire grammar terminology. All twelve noun cases ( hoyonamu ) of Rireinutire have now a native name, an endonym if you will.
