I'll tell her you said hello! Also see my reply to Matt's post.

Of course! =20

Yes I know. But we both agreed that /f/ is an ugly sound but /F/ is okay, so... Also, we thought about having bilabial v, instead of labiodental, to make it more natural, but then we thought: "Hey, this is a conlang, *our* conlang. We can do whatever we want". But the allophoney thing will probably happen as you say. Another thing is that we have /q/ but no voiced equivalent. So /q/ might turn into a glottal stop anytime soon now and then disappear completely. We'll see. Daniel Andreasson
