Yep, that's the one! Since I was thinking in my revival of Maggel to make it
like n (assimilating to the place of articulation of the following consonant,
though I can't think of what would be a bilabial l :)) ), it's definitely the
sound I meant!

You pronounce the first ones with /F/?!!! Well, I'll consider that too for
Maggel (in the first instance of Maggel, there was little assimilation. I'm
gonna change that :)) . Another way to put the spoken word at light-years from
the written word :)) ).

Yeah, my linguistic knowledge was quite poor at that time (it changed within
months. A few months after Maggel, I discovered the Basque language and created
Moten in reaction to it :)) . Though before I had made that other monster which
is Azak :)) ).
