Palåbran 03/31/09: Ogga'an

Ogga'an (oh-GA'-an): (noun) Morning, dawn. The time between chatanmak and talo'ani.

Note: The pronunciation above is the best I could do, but it's not exactly right. The double-G means that there is also a G at the end of the first syllable, I just don't know how to write that in...

Uses:

"Gof bonitu i egga'an på'go." = "The morning is very beautiful today."
"Ai adai, makmåta yo' gi alas 10 (dies) gi egga'an." = "Oh my goodness, I woke up at 10 in the morning."
"Ogga'an ha' esta åntes di måtto tåtte i bulåcheru." = "It was already morning before the drunkard returned."
