I did that too, altho I had a slight twist, instead of front-back
harmony, as exists in Turkish, I had a height-based harmony, thus all
vowels being high, middle, or low (thus, kitusi, ketose, and ka"tosa" [I
don't remember exactly what the orthography was] would all be possible,
but *kitesi wouldn't). Unfortunately, I don't have my notes on it
anymore. :-( I know of no natlang with that kind of harmony, but I'd
be very surprised if there *weren't*.
