though just like how an aussie might struggle to catch a deep southern drawl at first, vocalisations that stray far from the one that the speaker is used to can get hard to 'understand'

This means that the sequence Y-Q-QAN-FM-N-Y-KΘ can be realised in the following ways and still be valid: [i.xǝ.xɑ.nǝ.fǝ.mǝ.ni.kǝ.θǝ] ikhekhanefemenikethe [jǝ.xǝ.xɑn.fǝmǝnjǝkθǝ] yekhekhanfemenyekthe [ǝj.xǝ.xɑ.nǝf.mǝn.jǝkǝθ] eykhekhanefmenyeketh and still be understood

the notation eliminates a lot of vowels because the language generally just perceives the consonants, with caveats. Epenthetic [ǝ] is inserted wherever the speaker desires as to ensure proper articulation. /j/ and /w/ can be realised as either consonants or vowels.

Now for a demonstration sentence. Let's take the root word QAN (to eat); I will be providing pronunciations in lowercase. QAN-Θ [xɑn.θǝ] - to eat Y-QAN-Θ [jǝ.xɑn.θǝ] - to not eat QAN-F-Θ [xɑn.fǝθ] - i eat Y-Q-QAN-FM-N-Y-KΘ [ǝj.xǝ.xɑn.fǝm.nik.fǝ] - we're evidently not in the habit of eating together

The habitual/continuative marker is -N-, the evidential marker is -Y-, and the tenses are as such: Nonfuture Stative: -Θ Nonfuture Active: -F Future Stative: -KΘ Future Active: -KF

The negation marker is "Y-", and the reciprocal marker is "-Q-" The person markers are as such: 1st person singular: -F- 2nd person singular: -Q- 3rd person singular: -Š- 1st person plural inclusive: -FM- 1st person plural exclusive: -FΘ- 2nd person plural: -QM- 3rd person plural: -SY-

Verbs! Verbs are fun. Pattern: A-B-ROOT-C-D-E-F Where A is the negation marker (eat > did not eat), B is the reciprocal marker (x loved y VS x and y loved each other) C is the person marker, D is the habitual marker, E is the evidential marker, and F is the tense marker

If anything I honestly find the leaked folktales an interesting topic of analysis and potential inspiration for my own worldbuilding

"yeah, but pokemon is for kids" -> none of them were explicit; the octillery one simply said 'and this happened', while the others merely implied things -> folk tales much worse than any of the leaked ones are regularly told to kids -> in context, they're meant to frighten kids (it's on purpose)

That said, I do appreciate the *intent* of the labeler. It's just too unreliable and too messy for me to follow given my habits: I block 'phobes on sight; I don't want to accidentally block someone who simply made a honest mistake because the labeler deemed them problematic.
