Cool looking language!

I love the Semitic-esque phonology, complete with emphatics and
pharyngeals!

Tip on transcribing emphatics:
The CXS that i've seen uses |>| as a diacritic, so your /t_?/ and /s_?/
would be /t_>/ and /s_>/ formally, or just /t>/ and /s>/ for short.

I like the use of Spanish Reversed Question Mark!

Nothing much else to add, sorry.
