megh'an (n) end of an object that has discernible length
'er'In (n) end of an object that has discernible length
chaS (n) top end of a cane. (chaS)
qa'rI' (n) end of a hallway, tunnel, road, a long field
Dor (v intrans) end (of a stretch of time (month))
van (v trans) end an event (voyage, song, story) which one has some control of (unlike a month)
ghang (v trans) end prematurely
bertlham (n) end/final portion of opera, play, story
bI'reS (n) beginning/first portion of opera, play, story
'o'megh (n) final portion of a song
lIH (v) begin (introduce) a song
namtun (n) beginning portion of a song
natlIS (n) end of a list
Could a sentence be a list of words, thus [natlIS]? Or following the [tlhegh] portion of the word
and stick with [megh'an/'er'In]? We could probably come up with things like [rInDI'] and such as
well.
How would we talk about the end of a sentence?
