Speaking of final vowels though... I was considering to rescue final |u| from its current muteness. That would reduce the compactness of words like |doemu| /dAjm/ a bit, but it would render the language a bit more fluent. I could also imagine that both -us and -um from the Latin first declination would end up as |u| in Jovian nominative, and |un| in accusative. Hey, I really like the new convention of using pipes for written word delimination. =) -- Christian Thalmann
