Syllable [-Nya], slippery [-Nya] & [Inflection -Nya]
Syllable Ny.a can be found in words as Enyama, Manyego, Vunyuki, Runyovo, Nyagula, Nyaha etc. It can also be found at the end of the word as Menya, Kenya, Gōnya, Sinya etc. This article is interested in inflection of the verb when the end syllable is -nya.
In inflection, Ururogōri expands on verbs in a way to outlay how specifically the action is happening. When a verb is inflected with syllable -nya, it would mean the action is repeatedly ongoing - even at a more active rate with causation - with a leaning to bad doing. Observe the examples below
- kuba beat; kuba+nya = kubanya
- seka laugh; seka+nya = sekanya
- vōra say; vōra+nya = vōranya
- Menya live; menya+nya = menyanya
- Sinya abhor; sinya+nya = sinyanya
- nyānya eat; nyānya+nya = nyānyanya
Slippery sound y is caused by
dipthong ia [ia='y] as in the cases of ria~rya eat,
zia~zya go, nia~nya defecate etc when
the word is not a combination of morphemes. Words as ria of and
zia of do not take the slippery as the noun class syllables
[ri/zi etc] are pronounced separately from possessive adjective '.a'. When
these /n'y.a/ end verbs are inflected with -ny.a, we get the examples as
below.
- nia = nya; nya+nya = nyanya
- sagania = saganya; saganya+nya = saganyanya
- togonia = togonya; togonya+nya = togonya
The above three sounds : frontal nya
/ny/, palatal /ny'/ and slippery /n'y/ are responsible for the beauty of
Rurogōri [the three ny.a sounds] which shall keep being expanded as the
language keeps being studied.
