Whenever I see one of those "Women vs. Men With A Time Machine" memes I want to add a historical phonologist with a time-machine going: "Please pronounce these words into my magic recording device. This is important. You're about to take a real load off a lot of people's minds"

Charles Häberl has a blog entitled 'Reconstructing Mandaean History' over at the Liverpool University Press, which I had not seen. He underlines the scholarly relevance of Mandaean accounts for the history of the religious communities surrounding the Mandaeans. The occasion for the blog is the publication of his new and fascinating book: 'The book of kings and the explanations of this world'.

Ik heb net https://mastodon.frl vastgelegd. Voor nu vooral om misbruik te voorkomen, maar ik ga natuurlijk het liefst voor goed gebruik!
Maar zoiets moet natuurlijk een team effort zijn.. heb jij #ICT kennis, ❤️ voor #Friesland en wil je er ⌚ en/of 💸 in stoppen om een #instance voor #Fryslân in de #fediverse op te bouwen?
Dan weet je waar je me kunt vinden 
When learning Albanian nouns one is to learn the following four forms each (except if one of such forms would not except or would not make much sense, such as given names or plurales tanum): Indefinite Singular Nominative, Definite Singular Nominative, Indefinite Plural Nominative, Definite Plural Nominative. The plurals can be formed in many ways, as there are many suffixes and noun stem changes that may occur. #AlbanianLanguage #Albanian
There are a few things to be said about phonetics in Albanian, but, since I am not a phonetics specialist, I will restrict myself to but a couple of remarks on it, by way of this single toot:
- In writing, a single [l] and double [ll] stand for two different phonemes. [l] is written in Albanian to represent the 'light' l (i.e. /l/, the sound featured on this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_lateral_approximants), whereas [ll] stands for the 'dark' l (i.e. /ɫ/, as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_lateral_approximants#Velarized_alveolar_lateral_approximant). They are different phonemes, and certainly not allophones in Albanian!
- Likewise, a written single [r] stands in Albanian for the voiced retroflex flap /ɽ/, while a double 'r,' i.e. [rr] stands for a whole different phoneme, namely the voiced alveolar trill /r/.

Dear followers, as some of you have learned through Twitter or some other channel, I have been keeping myself busy learning modern standard Albanian. Since the Mastodon platform allows me, like any user, I reckon, to write rather lengthy posts (TOOTS!), I feel I could send out small (or rather: Not-so-small) bits of Albanian grammar and vocabulary for you to enjoy, or to contemplate and/or headdesk on. So, expect me from today to send out regular tw... toots with things I learned not so long ago on #Albanian #AlbanianLanguage

The verb 'to toot' hasn't been around for that long, so I'd like to seize the opportunity and make it a strong verb.
Let's put it in the old Germanic class 7e:
to toot ~ teet ~ tooten
