Foolish consistency dept:  by rights, shouldn't this change also affect
pre-consonantal /l/?   And is it only /l/ following back vowels (like
French) or after any vowel (like Brazilian Port.)? (My name comes out
['miuS])

        So there will be alternations like andal ~ andaré (future tense?)
etc.? Nice.

Me gusta.  Un favorito mío, del tango "Yira Yira":
Penas que todo es mentira,
penas que nada es amor,
que al mundo nada le importa,
yira, yira...

Aunque te quiere la vida,
aunque te muerde un dolor,  (or: ...te mueres de un dolor??)
no esperes nunca una ayuda,
ni una mano, ni un favor.   BA-DAM.
