I like those ideas, Barry. When two <a>s come together, are they pronounced separately with a glottal stop or something between them? I think it'd make sense to change one of them as long as they don't merge into one long vowel. Greek had something like that, IIRC. Eric Christopherson raccoon@elknet.net
