Re: SV: Re: Replies to my Introduction

Oh!!!  THAT, I've already done.  I didn't know that the word for that was
"phonology"

Anyway, for Sarah1 in particular, that's all really organized.  LangMaker
made me do it, even if I hadn't been inclined to.  I wanted to make the
language sound like my username (lloannna) could have come from it; so
there's a lot of "oa" everywhere.  Is there some set way that you're
supposed to represent phonology, when discussing a new language?

I suppose I really ought to give that language a better name, already.
