I'd really appreciate a critique of my list of administrative phrases that I posted a while back-it is probably riddled with errors. If we can get it right then I'm all for legally incorporating them into the Standing orders and other regulations, and publishing them as a .pdf to faciliate their use.

(last post: January 22, 2008 - 16:21) | # 4 is the GV&SP, a delicate issue. There is no "definitive" text so far because it hasn't yet been approved by the CÚG (still waiting for the King's final thoughts).
# 6 is as follows:
6.1. The four prefixes vice-, zemi-, për-, and ex-, which currently require the use of a hyphen, no longer shall do so. As with all other prefixes, these will simply be added to the root word, without hyphenation.
6.2 A prefix itself is only capitalised if the entire noun including prefix is actually being used as a proper noun or title. However, if the root word itself is a proper noun, the root word retains its capitalisation regardless of whether the prefixed version is being used in a title. For example, Vicepresedînt Cheney (since the word Presedînt in this sense would be a capitalised title), transAdlánt (since Adlánt refers to the proper noun that is the ocean, and is always capitalised), and Banqeu TransAdlánt (for the corporation by that name).
6.3. Proposal 3.1 established the general rule that an apostrophe is used to keep separate the sounds of any two consonants or vowels which might otherwise be interpreted as a digraph (consonantal digraph or diphthong). For example, Vice'împeratôr, ex'hovarda, and tofu'erďa. In cases of prefixed words, and all other compound words, we propose that if the upper/lower-casing of the letters being separated differ, an apostrophe is not introduced to separate digraphs. For example, antiAmericán and TalossaOvest.

el Prüm Citaxhięn: The President of the Republic
el Seneschál: The Prime Minister
el Secretár d’estat: The Secretary of State (m)
el Distáin: Deputy Prime Minister (m)
All these are "bisexual nouns" (heh!) and can be "la" as well as "el", depending on the gender of the official in question. (Big Thick Grammar 1.6.) Note also corrections of the accents in "Citaxhięn" and "Seneschál".
ün Ministreu: a Minister (m)
üna Ministrŕ: a Ministry (f)
üna Xhußiun Esecutorxheu: an Executive Order
In modern Talossan, the indefinite article is almost always written 'n, for masculine and feminine. (Big Thick Grammar 3.2) If you're being hyperformal, note that the feminine version is ünâ (note circumflex). In fact, pretty much every feminine noun or adjective ending in "-a" takes a circumflex. The major exception is, interestingly, Talossa.
Pr'iensâ Ziscußiun: For Discussion (f)
Hmm? That would literally mean "For a discussion", and I'm not sure whether the form is correct. I think Për Ziscuziun will do nicely.
Abstenteu: Abstain
That's Austanéu.
Apart from that: ben fäts!.
