Although I don't stage definite rules to "wear" words down but
play it by ear (now where do the actual trends come from? Not
from my L1, that's for sure.) I often face the dilemma of
choosing between a worn version and a not so worn version...
Taruven is supposed to be diphthong-heavy so I basically *have
to* stop eroding before the vowel-differences go... satyú vs.
sadu vs. sedže, the latter which really points towards a
different language altogether.
Bonus "huh":
While editing I got the common effect when using vim in a
broken shell/terminal emulator: leftover characters at the end
of the line (always including i but thankfully not :wq this
time)

It could be Taruven but looks more like the bastard child of
Irish, Welsh and maybe Swahili. Whatsch'all think?
