Workin' on some stuff.

I've been messing around with my second conlang (the reason I havent
described it, is because i wasn't ever settled on anything I liked). Then
I thought of a system like the tri-consonantal system of Arabic and other
semitic langs, and thought of this plan, which i'm not sure if it is
similar to what semitic langs do or not, but I kind of like it (it's
disgustingly regular , and very rough:)):
