Well, since there's not a lot of material... you can surely remain our
"official phonology wonk & guru" :-)

As for prosody... in my village's library there's a copy of Trubeckoj
'Introduction to Phonology', with a quite long passage about prosody (20
pages?). Tomorrow I'll go there and get it (the way the book is structured
suggests a not-so-difficult reading; after all that's an introduction, isn't
it?).

After I've read that chapter, at least, my layman's knowledge will allow me
to speak about what I'm doing with my languages :-)
