Practice: read these aloud twice
11 · If your family says it differently · a plain-language guide to Assyrian (Sureth) grammar
Once as the page writes them, once as your family would say them.
- ktava "book" → kthawa
- mata "village" → matha
- akhuna "brother" → akhona
- setva "winter" → setwa
- iven "I am" → iwen
If the second version is the one that sounds like home, this chapter has done its job — and everything else in the guide is now yours to read.
