I'm lazy and don't want to go through my Very Basic Root List (VBRL) (tm)
and work on each root to make the words. Ah, well. I'll just do it the
proper way.

Raleh has four consonantal digraphs (ph and bh, labiodental plosives, mh
/F/, and sh /S/) and four vowel digraphs (ae /ej/, ei /9/, eu /y/, ou
/O/). There are many consonant clusters allowed; the syllable style is
(S) (K) (L) V (F) (K), where S is a fricative, K is not a nasal or
semivowel, F is not a stop, and L is a semivowel. (I am going for
phonetic richness this time. By the numbers, there are 1,128,960 possible
syllables.)
I think that Raleh is a language for McLuddites (sp?). I have the same
VBR (tm) for evil, auxlang, and technology.\
