As a minor recommendation, I suggest that you follow Catalan, Occitan referencial, and old Italian orthography by using a-grave instead of a-acute. That allows a very simple rule: all open stressed vowels get the grave, all close stressed vowels get the acute. (A is always open, i and u are always close, e and o can be either.) -- = John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@ccil.org You tollerday donsk? N. You tolkatiff scowegian? Nn.
