Talk:toe-skin

RFC discussion: September 2007–December 2010
Bad header. This is a single word, not a phrase. The hyphen in Aleut doesn’t separate words, it only separates phonemes, like writing "work-s" or "work-ed" in English. —Stephen 16:31, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I follow your examples of either "work-s" or "work-ed." Could you please rephrase that?  --Connel MacKenzie 23:41, 14 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I think he meant, “hyphen in Aleut [...] only separates morphemes”. He illustated that concept by showing how the English words works and worked would look if English orthography called for separating morpheme by hyphens.  Since work, -s, and -ed are English morphemes, works would be written as work-s and worked would be written as work-ed.  With that in mind, if toe and skin are Aluet morphemes that combine into a single word, they would be appear as toe-skin.  Does that help?  Rod (A. Smith) 00:08, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I've reclassified it as a verb. — Beobach 21:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
