Hi!
Thanks for all the replies. I'll give you some more constraints on
the phonotactics:
- no geminates (excludes [s:])
- no postalveolars
- no velar fricative (but it seems it was there in older language
and now replaced by [X]).
- metathesis often occurs, so you don't need to stick too
closely to the order.
- clusters have strictly falling-rising sonority, so no
fricative-fricative or stop-stop, only fric-stop-fric and
the like.
Further, s > h already happens in some sandhi, so I like plain [h].
Anyway, s > t also happens in front of fricatives and th > T also
happens, so I found [T] a funny option, but a weird one. :-)
Still, I'd be happy if you have more suggestions.
And any ideas about longer clusters?
psh > pT ?
> *sph > *sf > tf ?
