Wow, you came right out of the woodwork! :)

As for the two sounds missing, yes, I know about that (notice I added two
d's lol). I wrote that out within the space of three minutes (it was
2:57), so I forgot those two. Anyway, read my reply to Christophe and it
should be fixed.

As for the excess of /e/ and /o/, I based the consonants off of the
pre-Spanish alphabet, but added in /e/ and /o/ because I like them :),
sorry for not mentioning that (as we say here, "my bad")! The vowels are
the full a, e, i, o, and u (as they are in today's Tagalog language), but
the consonants are just what is in the Tagalog alphabet.
