I only have 18 words in my conlang so far, three of which were added only today!! And I already have a word, vyy'i, which can be used as a strongly insulting term (see other post)... :-) But of course, there isn't much else... I actually only have two verbs so far, and the rest are nouns. :-) [snip]

This wouldn't happen to be the unvoiced velar fricative like the German "ch", would it? T
