What is 'type A' and what is 'Type B' declension (if it is about declension)? I get the idea that one of these involves an epenthetic /e/, and the other does not. that is about all I am reasonably sure of.

Oh sorry! I thought you meant something else. Yes, that's about it, the use of the epenthetic.

So which type gets the /e/?

BTW, are you working on your Spanish dictionary? Last I checked, I didn't see any activity. Havazhyol has 800+ words translated in his French dictionary. I haven't hear much of him as of late. I have about 11 percent of tthe Dothraki-Na'vi dictionary done, but that one will never be as complete, due to lack of vocabulary for many things.

Thanks, and we should Skype again soon!

Type B gets the /e/.

Easy to remember: Type bee gets the eee!

Now I know type A and type B. I can finally sleep at night ;)

Here! Yes, I want to work with it... although I don't quite understand what I'm supposed to do... where are the words? Where is the place where I have to translate? It's very confusing.
