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
