Test Sentences, 77

Continuing with Gary’s list:

  1. Keep this secret until tomorrow.

This needs paraphrased to Don’t say this hidden-thing before tomorrow. And hidden-thing is an example of an adjective without its noun, so therefore a nominalized adjective. And mɛdduso is duso prefixed to allow only one S. Since duso is often used for speech between multiple people, this implies an unspoken someone for you to tell the secret to.
