Pronunciation edit

Vycichl assumes defective writing, with an unrepresented consonant j:

 
  • (reconstructed) IPA(key): /jaʀˈlaljat//jaʀˈlaljaʔ//ʔaˈlaʔla//ʔaˈlaʔlə/

Allen instead suggests the word is properly jrꜣrt, with the order of consonants changed for calligraphic reasons;[2] Peust gives an analogous solution, though he posits metathesis rather than calligraphic reasons.[3] In this case one can reconstruct:

 
  • (reconstructed) IPA(key): /jaˈlaʀlat//jaˈlaʀlaʔ//ʔaˈlaʔla//ʔaˈlaʔlə/
