New Language - provisional nature

This new language I'm working on is a highly vocalic language.

Phonology:

Consonants
p    t    k
m    n
f    s
v    z    g (/G/)
w    r  j
wh   rh jh
     l
     lh

I'm not entirely sure if I'll keep the r's or the voiceless approximates

At an earlier stage, voiced stops became fricatives, merging earlier /b/
and /v/, and /d/ and /z/, while /g/ became /G/, hence the lack of a
voicing distinction in stops, and the lack of /x/ to compare to /G/.

I'm thinking also of adding voiceless nasals.

Vowels

i  y  u
 e    o
     a

y represents /-u/, that is, a high rounded central vowel.
There are also diphthongs
aj, aw, ej, ow

I may add vowel length, and/or nasalization

Syllable structure is (C)V

Grammar is very vague right now, but I'll probably inflect verbs for
evidentiality and aspect, and nouns for case and number, probably
singular-dual-plural (possibly trial), and nouns will probably be on an
active system (absolutive-nominative)

I'm experimenting with the inflections, my VERY tentative inflections
are:

Verbs

Evidentiality
Sensory: --
Cognitive: -ae
Report: -ge

Aspect
Progressive: --
Perfect: -aj
Prospective: -oe
Punctual: -o

Nouns

Nom: ta-
Inalienable Possession: Lhoa- (e.g., "his arm, his mother, his friend")
Alienable Possession: A- (e.g., "his car, his slave, his horse")
Dative: Ja-

Number
Singular: --
Dual: -reo
Trial: -zaj
Plural: -y
