Ooh! Steg's conlang now looks a lot neater than I've ever seen it before. So what I see as Steg's Ù comes out as ö on other systems and what I've heretofor seen as Í is now ê, and his strange {maÁt’mš} might actually be simply {maçtâmû}. I wonder what will happen to all the diacritics when this email gets read elsewhere.
