Re: New H/G lang?

I think it is not such a problem. Since the only important thing is the
difference in height, the vowel will get colored by the surrounding
consonants. So I can imagine something like /ti-/ becomes [ti], /p@/
becomes [pa] etc. You only need to have symbols to differentiate the
height. /e/ and /a/ could do.

Exactly.  See my other reply to Christophe, which I'm still working on.  (Watch
this space...)

BTW, you mentioned clicks? Clicks only occur in Southern Africa and you say
you are influenced by America. Do you mean ejectives and/or glottalics
and/or clicks?

I'm trying to take elements from various kinds of H/G and early farming
cultures.  My prenasalised stops also make me think old/third world rather than
new world.  My three-way voicing/emphasis structure makes me think Australia
(not sure if this is accurate?).  I'm going for "look and feel" rather than any
specific place.  It's probably going to end up located in pre-IE Northern
Europe.  Basically, think spears, feathers, leather, drums, big bonfires and
semi-nomadic lifestyle.
