My sound changes must still be broken. From those names (with long _i_
in the latter), I get _sclęglīkska_ /sklEGli~kSkA/ and _ uínlīsska_
/wi:nli~sSkA/, which are just flat-out ugly, never mind not fitting
the syllable shapes I'd decided to allow.

I don't think the term "childishly fascinated by" has any relevance
whatsoever on this list... ;-)
