Out of curiousity, why did you switch from 2-syl. bases to 3-syl??  Is this
a revised version of Tunu, or another language altogether?

Exactly the question I hoped no one would care enough to embarass me with.
:-)
I just happen to have permanently switched to the liking a certain set of
sound patterns, so much that I finally decided to migrate my whole
vocabulary within these greener plains and under these blue-er skyes. :-) I
am perfectly aware that all words now sound boringly uniform to anyone who
would read them--except to me because each and every of them "speaks" to me.
For instance kuruta, kitari and karita ("woman", "person" and "child") sound
very much alike but to me they sound no more similar than, say, "cat",
"kite" and "quit". :-)  The grammar remains almost unchanged and the new
name is yet to decide.
Voilà. :-)
