> Consonant harmony! Wow, I've never heard of that
before. I've heard of nasal harmony before, but
figured that was as far as it went. At on time I had
planned a conlang in which all consonants within a
word had to be of the same family, such as all
ejective or all voiced. But dropped it as too
unnatural.
