Re: Verbal System: I'd like comments. :)

I sent the message in Unicode and some of the symbols seem to have come
scrambled. :( I hope some people could read it properly. *sigh* As to
the length thing, if you look at some of the examples of sound changes
at the bottom you'll seem in some cases already it's become a little
shorter, and in fact I have further sound changes in mind which pretty
much merge some of the affixes together.
