Okay then. I hereby declare that the Cein equivalent be
called the Grand Master Chart (TM). :-P

In Cein this is _uf_ [uv]. Almost another synchronicity,
oof... :)

I'm thinking of changing the GMC (Hey, Dan Jones, perhaps
it was this you were thinking of when you wrote GMC before?)
to make the words even more unlike Sindarin, but still
keep the general feeling of the language. It would be
interesting to see the Grand Master Schema of Aelya in
its entirety.

I've noticed that the only diphthongs I get for Cein are
[ui] and [ei]. I want [au], [ai] and perhaps [oi] as well.
These only show up in the dual and the partitive which are
rare.

Is _ó_ --> _au_ a general sound change in Aelya or does
it occur only in special surroundings?
