can be observed in spontaneous production of MSA appears to correspond very
closely to what is known as “syntactic direct object [initial consonant] mutation”
in Welsh, which in fact covers rather more than just indefinite direct objects.

no native speakers, there can be no reliable linguistic analysis of such

achieve near-native fluency, and hence develop their own internal grammar,
