Re: My conscript

I'm experiencing problems with my DNS service, and have not been able to
receive email for almost 24 hours now, although I can still send email. So
please bear with me as I read messages from the WWW listserv archives and
reply here :-P

It's not your fault nor your computer's fault... my DNS service is having
problems (on their side, not mine, and I don't know the details), so the
URL will not work until they fix the problem.

But anyway, here are the vowel values (orthography, Kirsch):

        u [u]   w [u"]  y [y]
        o [o]   3 [V"]  i [i]
        0 [O]   a [a]   e [&]

NOTE: the value of 'e' used to be /E/, but that was before I actually
*heard* what the IPA sound was like... now thanks to Taliesin, I now have
.WAV's of the IPA sounds, so I should be able to make a better judgment of
what IPA symbols corresponds more closely to what I intended. I've decided
now that /&/ is *much* closer to what it should be. I haven't updated the
phonology pages for this yet -- probably will do so soon. Just letting
people know in case my DNS service returns before I updated the page :-)
