Re: new to conlanging

I only wonder that you seem to use the spelling <ae> to indicate [ei],
which is obviously similar to the English.  Not that there's anything
necessarily wrong with that, but it's contrary to what most conlangers
do, though last time I checked Rokbeigalmki also used an
English-influenced orthography.  Nonetheless, I would tend to pronounce
the word <aema> as ['aima].

In the first example you have <th> = [T], and in the second <t> = [T].
Why?
