In Terra Novan (my future English conlang), <y> was adopted for all
/aj/, thus, the first-person singular pronoun is "Y".  After a couple of
vowel-shifts, this became /E/, merging with the old /ej/ phoneme (thus,
<sy> = "say" and "sigh").

At least, that's one draft for their orthography.  The phonology's
fairly set, but the orthography keeps changing ...
