yeah. I spell it the old way cuz it doesn't start with the letter equivalent to "H" in Hebrew, but rather a letter that sounds a bit like clearing the back of your throat, as in German Ach.

Ya, we got that sound in our Dakota Sioux language too!

I remember my grandma used to try and teach me, I could never get it right.

But there is that distinct throat clearing sound...

Take for instance the question wene goko ka (no idea how to really spell it)

The k sound in both instances are throat clearers.

The question means... Are you drunk? ... we goko ka means are you crazy?

Edit:

At least that's what I remember, I may be wrong, tried to find a translator, but all the translators out there suck.
