I may not understand the words but I can at least figure out the word type. "preblgaria" stops me cold. Vowel ending, consonant cluster, must be brivla. I look up "pre" giving prenu. "ria" is not a rafsi. Wait. This must be bulgarian person. A le'avla. This is all just wild guessing. I did not use the morphology rules which I do not understand in any case. Does anyone understand the rules well enough to actually use them? -- Frank Schulz ( fschulz@pyramid.com )
