Re: mu for [N] (was: Koryak Vowel harmony)

I use ñ for /N/ in Montreiano because the sound /J/ broke into /n_j/.
the n velarized due to the /j/, and then in order to prevent
confusion, |i| was added after ñ despite the fact I could've just used
ñ for /Nj/.

So for instance:

ANNUS (I hope I have that one right :)) > anno /an:o/ > año /aJo/ >
/an_jo/ > añio /aNjo/.

So, now, Montreianos use ñ solely for /N/.
