That language was far too complex. It had too much variation (such as allowing |EEK|, |EEEK|, and perhaps even |EEEEK|) and weighty onsets. The orthography is much like that of English; with a name like Squeak, it should be pronounced /s?wea_^k/. Hmm... /s?wea_^k/. Shiny. Good to have you back, by the way. I was wondering where you had gone to earlier today. That it didn't occur to me sooner is a sign of how absent- minded I am. ~wright "When I insult myself, it's because I want you to agree with me."
