The Dictionary of Eleri Volume II


I've fallen way behind on sharing Eleri's ever-growing vocabulary. This is likely only interesting to her grandparents, but she might like to see it some day. The rest of you, come back another day!

Her enunciation leaves something to be desired, so I'll try to capture both the actual word and how she says it.
water (ah-dah)
yes (ah, more like yeah really)
blue (boo)
green (een)
yellow (allo)
red (ed)
purple (puh-ple)
on
off
up
down
shoes
socks
boots
book
outside
lights out
yogurt (ago)
spoon
bubble, bottle, buckle (they all sound the same, you need context)
fish
chicken (chick)
bird
balloon (boon)
moon (moo)
milk (mo)
seat (see)
bike (buh)
helmet (helmee)
hat (aht)
and no. That is a favorite!
I'm sure I'm forgetting plenty, but if I'm bored, you're bored. Moving on!

Proper Nouns:
Amy
Dakota (dah-dah)
Noah
Nonny
Papa
We're especially thrilled that she is saying:
Clio (Dio)
Eleri (I can't spell the pronunciation of this one!)

And she loves the possessive: "Daddy's shoes" "Clio's seat" "Mommy's food" etc.
She also asks questions: where did Clio go? But that requires some advanced work in Eleri translation, and is not to be taken lightly.
