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. =)
