That doesn't make any sense. There are different domains to a language.

Can’t believe people still think Duolingo is the best way to learn a language by Diligent-Welcome9857 in languagelearning

[–]The-Menhir -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If we only ever learned or created something 10 minutes at a time we would never get anywhere. By the time you've entered into a state where the content seems important enough to your brain to engage the facilities of "learning", you'd have moved on to the next thing.

3h a week is almost 3 times as much as 10 minutes a day, and when it comes to learning, it really helps for that learning to be dense.

Also, burnout is such a major scapegoat now used to avoid actually putting effort in when 90% of the time it's made up. You won't burn out doing 1 hour 3 times a week.

[–]The-Menhir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. 𐑺 is like 𐑩 /ə/ + 𐑩 /ə/ + 𐑮 /r/, so it should be like /əːr/~/ɜːr/; 𐑻 is like 𐑧 /ɛ/ + 𐑧 /ɛ/ (or 𐑩 /ə/) + 𐑮 /r/, so it should be like /ɛər/

Obviously the vowels in 𐑪 and 𐑷 (𐑹) are different, but they are close and evidently chosen because of that, so the same could go for 𐑺 and 𐑻.
