I'm wondering how you get [f "Ta:x] (especially the [T]) out of all that???

Nice!  Maggel reminds me somewhat of a faux-Romance lang. a friend and I
played around with one summer vacation-- combined what little I knew of
Port. spelling, what little he knew of Irish. We had something like
"uhstaidh mehe debhaint cehaint limhamillhaos [ u me~de~ce~li~ ] 'you owe me
100 limh. (currency)'.  The main rules were:  any nasal nasalizes the whole
word, and everything with or following an "h" is silent.  We also drew a
very fancy limh. banknote, and a Pahse-porte [ pa'pot ]

I've been wondering how Kash would say *here*, *there* etc when discussing
andonolit orambun 'literature as-if' (alternate time-lines, which they find
as fascinating as we do, along with the paradoxes of faster-than-light
travel).  It could be done with the tar/tra 'un-, not-' prefix:
taritan 'un-here', tariyun 'un-yonder' or somesuch.  We already have
trahinda(ka) (un-earth) for 'extraterrestrial (adj.)' thanks to Aidan's
excercises.
