Voiced/unvoiced fricative discrepancy

Earlier this week, there was a thread about the naturalness of a system with
both voiced and uncoived stops, but only unvoiced fricatives. I thought
somebody 'd like to now that one of my sketchier conlangs, Siréazh ([sre:aZ]
- this is the Tairezazh term; haven't worked out what the native is yet!)
had the following cutish system of stops and fricatives during a period of
it evolution

p   t   k
f   s   x
b   d   g
v B z D G R

Later this was simplified by B>v, D>z, G>zero and R>G. It may be noted that
/R/ is from earlier /G/ ...
