neat high gavellian noun: vrasonehi
as far as nouns go, vrasonehi "sentence" is pretty generic. no cool mass or abstract or compound noun things going on here. high gavellian nouns in general have less going on than verbs, tbh.
the neat thing is the word's phonological and phonetic realization. first off, this thing is always going to appear with an article: either definite do or indefinite ko.
the articles prefix sandhi onto their root noun in unique ways, which give us the phonemic representations of /dvaːsə.nε.hi/ and /gvaːsə.nε.hi/, respectively.
the /n/ being in a syllable onset prevents it from nasalizing the schwa, and /h/ is like. never actually pronounced, really, it's just there for voicing reasons, so after putting those through & running weak vowel reductions we end up with:
[dvaːz.n.i] / [gvaːz.n.i]
four syllables. the [z] and [n] are both syllabic. realistically, this would collapse into proper clustering in any descendants, but at the very least for HG this word is going to average 1.5 phones / syllable. and i think that that's really neat.
