[edit] Inconsistency in the article
The article states that "One of Afrihili's special features is that all nouns begin with and end in a vowel, by which the nouns can be distinguished from other word classes." (italics mine) However, several of the examples give nouns which begin with consonants and end with vowels. Examples:
- Zuri lu... Good day
- Zuri zinga... Good morning
- Zuri masa... Good afternoon
- Zuri dani... Good evening
- Zuri bali... Good night
Even assumin gthat only the first and last vowels would be switched to create a plural, for at least one of these - masa, meaning afternoon, the plural would be exactly the same as the singular.
Perhaps someone with a solid knowledge of Afrihili can clarify this. - LeeNapier 16:24, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
