BTW, Christophe, I'm planning to use either {U} ([xO]) or {u} ([xU] or [x]) for the 2nd person pronoun, and either {I} ([ZE]) or {i} ([ZI] or [Z]) for the 1st person exclusive pronoun. The indefinite marker might be {a} ([gU] or [N]). --- the phonetic symbols here are SAMPA I think --- I also looked at your Reman page since I want to use relative tense, but my French isn't quite good enough, although I was able to follow most of the phonology part. Jeff
