    In the one I was just talking about (Zhyler), I have varied case forms
that get based on the number of syllables in the noun.  It's to keep all the
nouns with even syllables.  (Oh, a single vowel is the only possible
nucleus.)  I saw a couple languages like this which led me to do it.  Or was
this what you were talking about...?
