well, nC clusters aren't allowed initially and final clusters aren't
allowed at all, but that didn't come into play in this case... i'm
working on putting together a page for kasano to put on my web site,
it'll probably be up in a few days.

well, i'm not sure why, but some of my conlangs (kinsi rorotan and senoi
that i can remember) apparently view /r/ as being more vocalic than /l/,
even when /r/ is [4] and /l/ is [l] (senoi, for example)... in kasano it
doesn't matter, since there is no /l/.
senoi was my second conlang... it has a lot of phonemes (i think it had
about 80 or so...), and the fact that every verb is at least 5 syllables
sort of made it difficult say anything in it...
