It's interesting to see how Kalong treats its /I U/; maybe I'll mess
around with my vowel specifications so that Takiyyudin does something
similar. I'm having fun right now building a word generator.
Unfortunately I'm not clever enough to make it cough up matching forms
in both colours. (This might matter if I'm going to start making a more
opaque alternation...)

Here's a trial sentence...

Temulun te'mo'rshe'tso'l.
T. temur-shE(G)-tsul <-- shE carries obligatory greenness.
T. relentless-BE-contradictive mood
"No, Temulun is relentless."

Btw, Tristan - <u> isn't transparent! Blue [u] alternates with green
[O]; green [u] alternates with blue [U].
