Dialects
There are 7 dialects of Moro (Guest 1997a).[3] Ethnologue names are given in parentheses.[4]
- Laiyənia or Layenia[5] (Laiyen)
- Tobəɽelda or Thetogovela[6] (Toberelda, Umm Gabralla)
- Uləba (Ulba)
- Lənəbwa (Nubwa)
- Nḏərria or Ndërria[5] (Nderre)
- Ləmwarəŋ (Dhimorong; = Werria)
- Ləŋorəban (Longorban, Umm Dorein)
Each dialect corresponds to a separate clan, except for Ləmwarəŋ and Ləŋorəban, which are amalgamated into a single clan known as the Wërria. Thus, there is a total of 6 different clans.
gollark: And the only thing which should lead it to incorrectly *uninstall* would be `(f1 == p1 and f2 == p2) or (f1 == p2 and f2 == p1)` and that being wrong seems even more ridiculous.
gollark: Maybe where it does a settings lookup? But users can't control that unless it's the registry.
gollark: I'm really confused about where a vulnerability in that could possibly be honestly.
gollark: MINE.
gollark: Does it break any exploits to move out `potatOS.update` to a separate process?
