Why did they spell it with “ti”

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 20 points 9 months ago

Literally the exact same reason why we spell "nation" with "ti", except that with Gilbertese, "s" or "si" is just thought of as a regular alternate pronunciation of "ti" rather than as its own sound. The magic words here are "assibilation" and "allophony"
