Yann írta: "Does anybody have an Idea into what sound an i could mutate
(a->ä,o->ö,u->ü,e([e]very->ë(German [E]nde))? I am constructing a language
that uses these mutations for grammatical infelction."
What's your conlang's vocalic inventory?
Let's say it's /i e a u o/, then you could have these mutations:
Centralize the vowel: /I E & O U/
Change the frontness of the vowel: /M 7 A i e/
Change the roundedness of the vowel: /y 2 &\ M 7/
Change the height of the vowel: /e i - u o/
I know there are pro'ly mistakes, I'm just too lazy to check the X-Sampa
chart :P Others could pro'ly help better. :)
