Re: Dipping my toe in the water

Re V: Tolkien was atrociously fond of v (especially intervocalically, but
that doesn't diminish its value as a "conlang caché" sound). One of his
early sub-quenya lines ran "kuluvi ya karnevalinar" which, apart from
sounding more Finnish than Finnish, has intervocalic -v- twice! And I think
a lot of conlangers, especially the tyros, tend to be a bit more derivative
(consciously or not) of the old master.
