Name a language that has no literally translatable word for "time". *(I presume that you only mean stops and/or fricatives. I know of no language that devoices e.g. final nasals) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Ah, you already answered my question, Josquin. I have overlooked your reply, sorry!
I know another language with a locative case and that is Turkish. Name a language with the aorist tense. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
