Di Jamiekan Nyuu Testament

Some Word Boundary Issues
The following is a list of words that differ in boundaries (either space or hyphen) in the current stage of Di Jamiekan Nyuu Testiment. Before the text is typeset, the translation team has to check the list so as to locate errors. Note that all words have been made lowercase for the check! Ive deleted all the errors I detected, but Ive left a number of important words which highlight spelling or representational issues that the translation team is yet to sigh off on before typesetting begins in March, 2012. Ive created this document to provide you with something fun to read in Jamaican. Perhaps you could challenge youself to form a sentence in Jamaican with each pair of words below. (eg. Mi si uol iip a ada piipl op de / Wich wan aada fi du?) As you have fun, do see if you can detect the representational issues the translation team needs to decide upon. (You may even pick up on representational issues that are not directly related to word boundaries, eg. the translation team has adopted an /h/less variety of Jamaican Creole - so aada, not haada.) a ada / aada a ak / aak a ala / aal a a da / ada a fi / afi a liv / aliv a nait / ana it a neva / an eva a nou / an ou a nuo / an uo a redi / aredi a res / ares a ruol / ar uol a sliip / asliip a taal / at aal aaf a / aafa ada man / adam an aida / aid a ail an / ailan alang / a lang an a / ana an ada / anada an da / anda an iel / a niel ar aid / a raid ar ed / a red at an / a tan bad a / bada baga / bag a bak a / baka beliful / beli ful bikaaz / bi kaaz biliiv a / biliiva bita / bit a breda / bred a chrang a / chranga chrienj a / chrienja chrieta / chriet a de man / dem an/ de na / den a de nier / den ier de so / deso de tan / det an ded lef / ded-lef dem iin / de miin
