I'm working on resurrecting my oldest conlang, of which nearly all the
grammar and about half the lexicon is missing. At any rate, I've had to
make a few guesses as to what certain digraphs symbolized. Like,
there's a distinction between _th_ and _thth_, which I *think* was
intended to represent /T/ and /D/ respectively. Thus, I will replace
_thth_ with _dh_. In addition, I've had to figure out the syllabic
structure.
