Why that ? *barang* comes from *Belgian* as everybody knows. And I tell you what : I don't like f's. No single conlang of mine never ever featured the smallest hint of an f. f is vile and gross. f stinks. down with f. bilabial F excepted when in front of *u* and *a* OK. And frogs are delicious. And snails too. But I can't see the point with Belgium. Mathias ----- See the original message at http://www.egroups.com/list/conlang/?start=19093
