I have decided to revise the phonetic enventory of Graavgaaln and place
some new restraints on occurence of some of the phones I'mm keeping.
First the following sounds are now obsolete.
hhr = vioceless uvular trill. It will be collapsed with the voiced
uvular trill.
c (cedilla) = ich. Will be replaced by retroflex tS. Just 'cause I
prefer that sound, not because of any sound change.
l (cedilla) = retroflex L. Will be collapsed into <ll> which is velar
or "dark".
hh = voiced "h". Will be collapsed into <gh> which is voiced velar
fricative.
The remaining retroflex consonants will be restricted to word initial
appearances.
This means I have to revise my dictionary and the translation of Psalm
23.
Ghraam!
