Lingueistics is an orra, orra spellin — A nou feel a bit hoist on ma ain petard for uphaudin the RRSSC as muckle. Mendor 17:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[Replie]

"§ 43. O.E. ī (h.bk.t.) and y (h.bk.t.r.) are diphthongised as in Mod.Eng. In Sc. the diphthong [əɪ] is in general use. In some dialects, before the consonants [r, z, ð, v] and in final accented position the sounds [aɪ + aɪ] are common but not universal. Examples: wyce (wise), wyte (blame), bide (remain), kye, hive, fire.

§ 44. Scand. [i] — grice (pig), sile (fry of fish), sile (to strain), tyke, lythe (shelter), tyne(lose).

§ 45. Romance [i] — advice, fine, cry, sybo (an onion). When the Romance word came into Scots after this change was completed the ee [i] remains as in item, licence, oblige, liberal." [1]

The vouel in [lɪŋwistɪks] in the IPA chairt for Scots wad be vouel 2 for ordinar spelt ee, the spellin ei wis for ordinar uised for vouel 3. RRSSC raivelt thon differ.

A wis gaunae speir anent whaur the [g] went but than A jaloused that o coorse the'r nae [g] in it, same wey as the'r nae [g] in <finger> aither. (that's richt is it no? same factors at wark here?) Mendor 14:28, 25 October 2005 (UTC)[Replie]

Ay! That's richt.
