One sound change is probably not going to take less than one generation, or about thirty years. You could have several sound changes going at once, but I wouldn't set up a sound change dependent on an earlier change any sooner than that. (Unless, say, there is some kind of cultural factor fast-tracking sound changes...) *Muke! -- website: http://frath.net/ LiveJournal: http://kohath.livejournal.com/ deviantArt: http://kohath.deviantart.com/ FrathWiki, a conlang and conculture wiki: http://wiki.frath.net/
