#920: what about moun? Bell comments



From: Madison Bell <mbell@goucher.edu>

My theory is that the French "tout le monde" (literally "all the world"
idiomatically "everybody") collapses into the Kreyol phrase "tout moun."
>From that position, Kreyol advances "moun" in the singular as the word for
individual person.
