In addition, <I>verlan</I> often drops the final vowel sound after the word is inverted, so <I>femme</I> and <I>flic</I> become <I>meuf</I> and <I>keuf,</I> respectively.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Verlan&oldid=263437571"><P>Different rules apply when dealing with one-syllable words, and words with more than one syllable may be verlanised in more than one way.
