Re: YACL: Thylean (alternate-history)

Some more sound changes:

CL /bl/ > Th /l/ (through the weakening of /b/)

And a clarification of the long vowel reflexes:

CL /a:/ > Th /æ/ spelled 'ea', pronounced [ea] in the Northern dialect
CL /i:/ > Th /i/
CL /u:/ > Th /u/
CL /e:/ > Th /ei/
CL /o:/ > Th /Ou/ (note that CL /o u/ > Th /O/, not /o/)

However, the reflexes of /a: e: o:/ in unstressed positions are different:

CL /a:/ > Th /a/  }
CL /e:/ > Th /i/   } UNSTRESSED
CL /o:/ > Th /u/  }
