Re: Thagojian phonology (was Re: oh no, not Tech phonology again)

Hey, since we've been talking about massive phonologies, how about the other
extreme?  Any ideas for a conlang with as FEW consonants and vowels as
possible?

I'm thinking something like the following nine:

Vowels: a i u (3)
Consonants: p t k s m l (6)

Or drop the s... or even drop all but p t k!

Of course two natlangs, Rotokas and Hawaiian, draw close to this paucicity
of phonemes...
