Ahh, finally, a sane proposal from a sane person that actually has some
*real* thought put into it. Thanks, Joe, for taking the time to research
this.

I actually like the words you came up with a lot. I think you've really
hit the nail on the head by choosing, from the very beginning, sounds that
are maximally distant from each other. And getting rid of the very
redundant noun prefix is a very good idea; the resulting words that you
have look a LOT more like a natlang, and a lot more learnable. Who knows,
I might even *want* to learn a lang that looks like what you proposed.
(See the difference, Andrew? I kept trying to tell you, we're not trying
to be nitpicks or "flamers". There *is* a real difference to choose a sane
phonology and a sane way of building words.)
