P.S. on E-o

A few optional rare letters for E-o, mainly for English and German loans:

1. voiceless labial fricative [T]:
   traditional orthography: t^ (t-circumflex)
   reformed orthography: þ (thorn, for Windows/Latin-1 friendly) or Gk
theta
2. velar nasal (the E-o word _juna_ "young" could be _jun^a_)
   traditional orthography: n^ (n-circumflex)
   reformed orthography: q (Windows/Latin-1 friendly) or eng

Also, a possible sixth vowel, probably a schwa [@] or a "wildcard"
central-back unrounded vowel (like [V] in "cup" or [1] in Românian).
Could use the unused letter "y", or maybe a circumflexed vowel for
traditional orth. (ê, ô, û, I dunno).

Again, these are optional additions for rare/foreign words, and not
necessary for the integrity of the IAL.  In fact (note my previous post),
I think one can merge g^ into j^ (eliminating [dZ] in favor of [Z]) and
omit h^ (replace it with k, usually) and the language will still work
fine, but I need to make sure I don't have any homophonic words.

I'm off to bed now.
