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.
