And while I'm at it, I might add that "ObConlang" means "obligatory conlang", i.e. something you write to make your posting at least somewhat on topic. Someone r e a l l y ought to make a FAQ for this list. ObConlang: {u} in Cein can be pronounced either exactly as {i} ([i:] and [I]) or as the rounded equivalent [Y] and [y:]. Some speakers have a slightly more central pronunciation, approaching [u-] or [1] (high, central, (un)rounded). The difference is a matter of ideolectal and dialectal differences. This also affects the diphthongs {ae}, and {au}, which are pronounced [aj], unless the speaker has the 'colored' {u}. In that case, {ae} and {au} are pronounced [Aj], [Vj] or even [@j]. Though I can't decide which to have as the standard pronunciation. *sob* ||| daniel -- danielandreasson@swipnet.se | http://home.swipnet.se/escape
