No, no, no. Hakan, you don't understand! You've been living in a eurocentric
linguistic prison, my friend. I'll give you an example of Klallam and you'll
see that Czech is a breeze. Say the following out loud:

sc^kWay?c^ "bear"
Lq?t@'w?@c^ "beaver"
Lq?c^s^Lsa'? "fifty"

As you can see Klallam is very easy to learn... Oh no! I think Hakan has
swallowed his tongue! Call the doctor!
