Phrases
The verb to be (is, was, were, am, are, etc.) is often left unspoken. For example, "te hhah" means literally, "my name" but is understood to mean "my name is." Some Felis phrases are similar in sound but different in meaning. To use the above example,
Te hhah = my name
Te hahr = my heart, an affectionate term for a loved one
