Re: it's what I do

Wow.  Now I understand final features. :-)

I am also making a modification to Telek, based on what I read.  I've never
been satisfied my sequences of long vowel followed by a geminate.  Now that
I know they are typologically unusual, I'm going to dump them.  I'm going
to shorten the vowel and keep the geminates moraic.  (Sorry, no mimicking
Gosiute here.)  I'm also going to keep geminate fricatives. :-)

You might be interested to know: I just started a field methods course, and
we are going to be analyzing Pima.  Should be interesting.  I've read a
little bit about Papago, so I already know more than I should, but it isn't
enough to be a problem.  My second foray into Uto-Aztecan languages.
