Thank you for giving the correct version. I deliberately use
simplified versions, in every language, and may remind you

but Tawran (T emphatic) means "at one turn".

not only is the initial wrong, but you put it into the accusative.


that English words are often pronounced very differently from
how they are written. James Joice made this joke: What is
a ghoti ? A fish, of course: gh as in rough and tough, o as
in women, and ti as in nation. I can't possibly reproduce the
elaborate phonetic renderings in the book by Saul Levin,
and if I considered every phonetic rule, the ones established
until now, and the ones that may be established in the future,
the name of Peter T. Daniels must probably be given as
follows: ?%P09"e8)t%%e"r ? T~~. !D=a**n+/(i¦e@@l¬s.
Hoo could read such an eyesore?
