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.
