Similar Gzarondan, though the difference is between adjective versus
between noun/verb phrases and subclauses:

Between adjectives:  /uS/ (and), /u/ (or)
Between wider units: /uS@nt/ (and), /Or@nt/ (or)

Its handling of conjunctions isn't terribly unorthodox, though it
does differ from English in some ways. For example it is the first
(rather than the last) of a sequence of conjunctions that is explicit,
and the omitted ones are represented by an apostrophe, not a comma.
For example:

monofpehs wcint tonofpehs ' moniu ya ryn
/mOnOfpET uS@nt tOnOfpET mOno j6 rIn/
mine, yours and the one I want

(note: "nt" is a single character, a "t" with a diacritic)

The clause "moniu ya ryn" simply means "I want it", and it's a feature
of Gzarondan conjunctions that a subclause within in a conjuncted list
of items represents its object.
