Re: Unusual Isolated Form of Ang

Hi Andrew,
It looks like ANG isol, which is not used. There is also no init form of 
NGA. If I remember correct, init is not used except just one case, which 
is to notice the first sound of baby (NGAA) just after the birth. I tend 
to think, it could be simply ignored.
