On Midnight Wings

Начало книги

TO MAKE THINGS AS simple as possible, I’ve listed not only words, but phrases used in the story. Please keep in mind that Cajun is different from Parisian French and the French generally spoken in Europe. Different grammatically and even, sometimes, in pronunciation and spelling.

The French that Guy Mauvais uses is traditional French as opposed to Dante’s Cajun.

For the Irish and Welsh words—including the ones I’ve created—pronunciation is provided.

One final thing: Prejean is pronounced PRAY-zhawn.

aingeal (AIN-gyahl), angel. Fallen/Elohim word.

ami (m); amie (f), friend. Mon ami, my friend.

ange, angel; ma p’tite ange (f), my little angel.

Anhrefncathl (ann-HREVN-cathl), chaos song; the song of a Maker. Fallen/Elohim word.

apprenti (s), apprentis (pl), apprentices.

assolutamente (Italian), absolutely.

bastardo (Italian), bastard.

bâtard, bastard.

beaucoup, very, much, many, a great deal.

bien, well, very.
