I thought you said Romanic was read right to left?

Also, the tone letters are typically reserved for phonemic tone (or, occasionally, pitch accent), not intonation. Rising and falling intonation are usually transcribed as [↗] and [↘], respectively.

I've apparently never given the Silvish translation for this. "To kill" has been a tough word to pick a derivation for, so not completely surprising.

:con: Silvish

M'évvanì pà !
[miv.vɑ̃ˈne ˈpa]
1SG.ACC=kill-IMP.2SG NEG

Don't kill me! (informal; singular addressee)

M'évvanihêt pà !
[miv.vɑ̃.niˈhet ˈpa]
1SG.ACC=kill-IMP.2PL NEG

Don't kill me! (plural addressee ~or~ formal; singular addressee)
