is there an explanation why jut ma specifically doesn't exhibit the assimilation/reduction? Is it because it would sound slightly awkward having an N after the T in jut, or is there a more complicated explanation?

Hm you, I think you midspelled "Tahu." Also "Gali" is not from Maori. It is a Hewbrew word I believe, meaning "fountain" and "wet."

By the way, I know this is an old blog post, so you may already know this Gali thing by now

Why is Y repeated both in Consonants and Vowels? It is a vowel to my knowledge

I guess people got fed up with Majhost's "maintenance." How long is it going to go on for anyway??

I wonder how you're going to tackle the connection between written and spoken Matoran language, because there are so many contradtictions you have to avoid whle figuring that out. I wish the people at LEGO had thought about this, instead of just making an alphabet that is simply based on the English language. I mean, it doesn't make any sense that the word for temple (kini) and spirit (mata (or ka)) is pronounced the way it does, if it's written as it is. I mean phonetically it just contradicts itself. I mean Onu-Koro means Earth Village, or Village of Earth, correct? But sometimes it's written in the Matoran letters that actually correspond with O, N, U and K, O, R and O again. But then you'll happen upon a sentence with "village" in it, where it's written with the letters that correspond with V, I, L, L again, A, G and E. How does this make sense? It doesn't... I mean what is correct? Using the letters that correspond with O, N and U, or the ones that correspond with V, I, L, L, A, G and E? And if you write it in the latter way, is it then still pronounced as "koro"? So inconsistent... Man, this is such a brainteaser, right? Or should we just take this with a graint of salt, as non-canon, and hear what you have to say on the matter later? It would be interesting if you could come up with a system that would throw everything we know about the written language out the window.

I always say this, actually. But I always end up getting disputed. I believe it may have been LEGO who prevented too much character development, as they like to gear their lines toward a younger audience. Or maybe the characters are just very good plotters but not particularly good at writing and exploring their characters. I still have hope, though, that Greg, now that LEGO is not focused so much on BIONICLE, will be able to, if he wants to that is, write an epic piece set in the world of BIONICLE. Maybe not on a Lord of the Rings level haha, but something bigger than the short books that we've had published, such as the Legends and Adventure series. Or something...
