Hmm, most of these appear as question marks, so these equations do not
really help, because it's just ambiguous.  I assume it's better on my
other machine, but you will probably have to reckon on some letters
being mangled for some list members.

I like these!

Did Ayeri have tense?  I forget.

My langs never seem to have tense, actually, so I'm familiar with
this.

I like these!  A few details are found in my own conlangs, so I'm
looking forward to seeing more in order to compare the realisations.
