Just one thing: the order is |hm|, not *|mh| :(( . The |h| is between the |d| and the |m|, not before the |a|.

Just one thing: I did say that the length was specifically marked by a single letter, but I never said it was considered a phoneme. It's a syllabic feature, and thus cannot be considered in the way you were doing...

Presumptuous indeed (but I already said too much ;)))) ).

Well, I'll make your life easier by saying already that even when |m| and |h| are swapped positions none of those are right...

Well, I think that in this mail I gave very big hints. Now even without looking at the archives many people should find the solution. If no one does, it will be quite a success for the orthography of Maggel :))) . Christophe. http://rainbow.conlang.free.fr Take your life as a movie: do not let anybody else play the leading role.
