(2) "amoure" (= love, pr. â-môr), is usually feminine in Cajun. (3) "aigne" (one diphthongized syllable! Rhymes with "peigne", a comb.), from "ain", meaning "one", is often thus pronounced before "tas" when the meaning is "a lot" in amount, but not when it means a literal "pile" or "heap". (4) "ça", can mean either 'that' or 'they', depending on the context. When used as "they, it is not followed by verbal auxiliaries. The line containing it is an example of both usages in the same sentence. "ça 'rclâme" (pr. sâr-klâm), infinitive "erclâmer" (to claim). (5) "cez" (= to, at), and also "chez".
