It's hard to tell with her abstinence from punctuation...
but "Matari Queen of all vampires" does sound like a title
to me.  That "of all vampires" wouldn't make much sense
otherwise.


BTW, something's wrong with your X-SAMPA...  if |A| sounds
like "tall, John" (these two words have different vowels in
the majority of English dialects...  but anyway), you
probably mean /A/ or /Q/, maybe /a/ if you're a Californian.
The sound in "ale, bane", however, is /ej/ in X-SAMPA, not
/A/.

The data on noun and verb inflection would be more readable
if it were presented in a proper table.  ;-)

I like the sound of your vocab, though.  The final /T/ is a
nice touch.
