I'll concur with most everyone else - try adding two tones, or do a
daughter language, or maybe a parent whose tones got dropped with the
evolution of ea-luna, which would be a good reason to have lots of witty
ea-luna homophones.  Are there any natural pidgins with tones?  That
would be interesting;

In Cameroon a pidgin based on English has two tones, downdrift and
downstep. I used it as one of my inspiration sources for Gbwi`a`.
