This sounds good (it's basically Spanish!).

But I think this one is rather unlikely. Maybe in certain environments... What I did in Nolt Lethar -> Drasel=E9q was to change initial stops: voiced stops -> unvoiced stops (b,d,g > p,t,k) prenasalized voiced stops -> voiced stops (mb,nd,Ng > b,d,g) so I managed to keep both kinds of stops. :-)=20 I don't know about Barry's language though. It depends on the ancient language. You (Barry) could do something with geminated stops (pp, tt, kk or bb, dd, gg). Just my two centavos, --Pablo Flores
