    Thanks for taking a look, Mathias!
    I've modified the document a bit to address what you bring up.  I've
added a pronunciation guide to the consonants (though I may have to modify
some parts of both that and the chart so they agree with each other more
closely), and I've addressed the difference between words used as suffixes
and the same words used as isolates.  (I've also added a few words to the
lexicon, and expanded somewhat on the conjunctions with what I put in
another post in this packet.)
