SWINE LANGUAGE
By Merl Reagle
The answers to this puzzle are based on Pig Latin - in which the initial letter(s) of a word is (are) dropped and the long A sound is added after the sound of the dropped letter(s). Ignore spelling.
Examples:
NIX - IXNAY
HOUSE - OUSHAY
FRIEND - RENDFAY or ENDFRAY
SPLASH - PLASHSAY or LASHSPAY or ASHSPLAY
Match the word in Column I to one of the phrases in Column II so that the Pig Latin version of the word in Column I corresponds to the phrase in Column II. For example, WONDER in Column I could be matched with ALREADY BEGUN in Column II because the Pig Latin version of WONDER is UNDER WAY. Wordplay is fair play - especially with Merl Reagle.
