Re: [tied] Re: Numerals query again + Ge'ez forms

Dear Glen,
I've seen you write some weird stuff on this list over the years but
this has to be one of the weirdest :-). My code-fascist side would also
like to object to your call to
this.buyCoffee("at local cafe","regular size","mild roast");
it seems better SE practice to denote "regular size" by a
predefined constant perhaps named Coffee.REGULAR_SIZE so errors
like calls with "Regular size" can be caught by the compiler.

Nevertheless, to keep the post on topic. I looked up my Thomas
O. Lambdin _Introduction to Classical Ethiopic_ (an absolutely
brilliant book btw) to cite some forms for Miguel et al:

Masc.: Fem:
nom.: sab'atú sab'ú
acc.: sab'atá sab'ú

Masc. nom. has a common variant form sab´a:tú and there you
see that Lambdin transliterates a for the vowel that corresponds
to Ar. a and a: for Ar. a: etc. The stress placement is from the
Ethiopic tradition rather than comparative data (the source is
likely to be E. Mittwoch, _Die traditionelle Aussprache des
Äthiopischen_, Berlin 1926).

all the best,

Harald
