You might choose to wait until fixing the syllable structure, whose description seems quite vague -- not a critique, since most of us basically put it aside, only having a general idea, until we get the feel for what the language considers legal or illegal; and only then (maybe) we get to the task of looking at words and at our intuition in order to write down a syllable structure formula. Which boils down to say that you don't need (in this list) to present a new language as if you had done a long study about it. We're here to listen, not to evaluate. :) --Pablo Flores http://www.geocities.com/pablo-david/index.html "...
