Recommendations<br />

In this last section I shall be making a few recommandations for the enrichement of this idiom thus if you are not a native speaker or a<br />

scholar do not bother reading this section.<br />

1. The reintroduction of the Dative used with the prepositions: υπό (under the (power, supervision etc.), αμά (at the<br />

same time), παρά (accompanying), επι (concerning) and ομού (together with, close to).<br />

2. The reintroduction of the Dual number.<br />

3. The creation of an exclusive we, us etc. Recommendation: μόνον εμάς -> νεμάς.<br />

4. The reintroduction of the pronunciation of Υυ as ‘oo’ eliminating the need for the diphthong ‘ου’.<br />

5. The teaching of Cypriot in classes.<br />

6. A campaign against the discrimination of speakers of this idiom.<br />
