(Note that I understand the term "rhotic" to mean "anything that's kind of
like an R".  Clairification welcome.)

I've always been under the impression that there's only one rhotic in
Asha'ille, originally [r\] as per my first e-mail.  The alveolar trill
_might_ be phonemic in a very small percentage of the lexicon, but then
again it might just be an allophone appearing only in loanwords.

* I've totally revamped Asha'ille's personal conjugations!  No more
IE-mimicking for me!  :)  I'll post about it as soon as I write up a LaTeX
doc to PDFize.
