I was watching a
commercial advertisement on
TV. A woman was standing
cooking in a kitchen, and a man knocked on the door and offered her a
steak, completely
for free. The only
hitch about it, was that it was
ritual meat, and according to
religion, whoever got it was obliged to do
the following two things before preparing it: a) to put a
fresh
laurel leaf on it, and b) say a special
prayer.
"That sounds OK to me", the woman said. "But what kind of prayer?" Then
the salesman burst into a language I've never heard before. It was
hilariously difficult, and filled with uvulars. I could still remember
the first two words after waking up:
[no"N\oq to"q'okoqic]
The transcription being in
SAMPA, with the addition that "
'" is the
ejective diacritic.
