While translating something I came across something that seemed unusual.

tìrey-yä
Life-[POS]
Life's

Would this be written as tìreyyä or would the two y's merge so it would be just tìreyä?

omängum fra'uti

The genetive suffix is actually just -ä, it takes the -yä form when the word ends in a vowel, and the -eyä form on pronouns that end in vowels, replacing the final vowel with e.

Tìreyä
Ftxey lu nga tokx ftxey lu nga tirea? Lu oe tìkeftxo.
