(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. -- AA * 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.
