Re: Totally Voiceless Conlang Phonology

Hi!

I found a small type in your CXS: it should be [s`] instead of [s'].

Note that clicks are incredibly loud sounds compared to other
consonants and vowels.  Since you say the people were prey and voicing
was lost because of that, I'd expect clicks to be lost, too.

Anyway, I like the phonology.  The correspondence of the rendering of
the words in English and Drushek is nice, und I like the use of
pharyngeals.
