Re: Introduction to FourHorse

Voiced whistles.  It's interesting you should mention those; I was just
having a discussion about them yesterday.  They're interesting little
noises.  Maybe I'll do one of those freaky conlangs we've been talking about
with a whole whistle series (though for the life if me I cannot pronounce a
velar whistle, and the closest to a palatal I can get is a hiss), though I
don't know how one would romanize that, and I'm a stickler for nice
orthography.
A trill series would be interesting too, and lovely voiceless nasals.  For a
speciel with really limber tongues, perhaps.  Just trills and whistles and
fricatives.  None of that stop crap.  (I once tried replacing all the stops
in a short Nrit text with their corresponding fricatives; the result was
rather interesting.)
