Interesting, I like this. Reminds me of my own (primary) conlang Daðeima.
Its (phonemic) vowel system looks like this:

i y     M
  e 2    7 o
   E       O
    {
     a

I might change /M/ to /u/, though I've already done that a couple of times.
Not sure about /o/ though. I found out the vowel I'm so desperately needing
sounds somewhat like the |o| sound in the Dutch word "lopen" opposed to the
one in "kooi". Thought this was /o/, but can anyone correct me?

And on a sidenote, although /1/ does not occur in Daðeima, it's a (new)
common vowel in my revived RPG conlang /"EN.krA/.

vaksje.
