New Zealand South Island Adventure day 10 : Takaka -> Pohara -> Collingwood -> Puponga -> Motueka -> Nelson - It had been another big day to explore golden bay. Started with a detour to Pohara Beach and then headed northwest to visit Collingwood where I captured a retiree playing accordion at the recreation area of the waterfront. The long haul including 5KM unsealed road to Wharariki Beach rewarded the most famous view for the day - Windows 10 Lock Screen. Do you recognise it? Cape Farewell next to it also looks fabulous. On the way returning to Takaka, stopped at Te Waikoroupupu Springs for rest with a casual walk. Drove through the long winding Takaka Hill way again before its closure at 8PM and stopped at Motueka for dinner. Finally arrived at Nelson for the night when it got dark. #goldenbay #tasman #abeltasman #takaka #pohara #collingwood #puponga #whararikibeach #capefarewell #tewaikoropupusprings #motueka #nelson (at Nelson, New Zealand) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxIGz-vfnh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Zealand South Island Adventure day 9: Charleston -> Westport -> Murchison -> Takaka - It’s another rainy day :/ Headed to Westport for brunch before going further north to Golden Bay. Stopped at Upper Bullet Gorge Lookout, Buller Gorge Swing Bridge, the largest town Murchison in between to top up fuel, Hope Saddle Lookout, and the turned northwest through Motueka Valley to Rikawa. It’s another long winding drive from Riwaka to Takaka through Takaka Hill. Stopped at Hawkes Lookout in between and finally arrived at Takaka at 7:30PM when the winding way took much longer than expected. Takaka Town Centre is actually larger than expected and I was surprised to find a Thai Restaurant there. At least I don’t have to handle lactose intolerance in this long haul trip. #goldenbay #tasman #takaka #murchison #westport #motuekavalley #northernwestcoast #hopesaddlelookout #hawkeslookout #newzealand #roadtrip (at Takaka, Golden Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpuiOD8P8z3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ancient Iru
The following is my final constructions for pre-proto-iru, proto-iru, and ancient Iru. PPI is the language that existed before writing and with the lost logograms. PI is what was recorded when the (loosely) featural alphabet was created. Ancient Iru is what the language sounded like by the time it made contact with the proto-Ryashi language.
So to reiterate: PPI is the ancestor, PI is the way it’s written, AI is how it’s pronounced.
Romanisation is pretty straightforward but here’s the special characters
PII: q /q/ ȝ /ʕ/ ` /ʔ/ ng /ŋ/ r /r/ y /j/
PI: q /q/ ȝ /ʕ/ ng /ŋ/ r /ɹ/ ā /aː/ (all vowels) y /j/
AI: ch /tʂ/ sh /ʂ/ q /tɕ/ x /ɕ/ ng /ŋ/ r /ɻ/ f /ɸ/ y /j/ ö /ø/ ü /y/
TONES: a /a˦/ ạ /a˨/ á /a˨˥/ à /a˥˨/ ǎ /a˦˨˥/
