Nouns and Verbs in Inglish: Long-s and Corresponding Verbs
In Inglish, nouns that use the long-s symbol ʃ (representing /s/) have corresponding verbs that use a singular s.
The long-s ʃ is pronounced as the voiceless sibilant /s/, while the s in the verb forms shifts to the voiced sibilant /z/.
This pattern mirrors the phonetic distinction found in Modern English, where nouns and verbs like "house" and "use" are distinguished by voicing.
Examples:
þi euʃ → ta euse
þi abeuʃ → to abeuse
þe haoʃ → ta haose
þi advîʃ → to advîse
