Actually, I'm proposing no vowels at all in Drushek. The H, r, and x serve as pseudo-vowels for them. Both rounded and unrounded versions of these serve as vowel-like sounds, although this is only one of their uses. The vowels in the English renderings are pronounced with voiced vowels. As I mentioned, this is still very much a work-in-progress. I've gotten a positive response, so I'll keep everyone updated on progress. The weird, voiceless phonology ups the ante on what kind of exotic morphosyntax I have to come up with for it. Any further critiques or suggestions are welcomed. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Finding fabulous fares is fun. Let Yahoo!
