Quite successful in its own terms. I would have a few niggles, such as "hw": the w ~ hw distinction has fallen in most dialects, and even where it is preserved, the functional load is very low. I particularly like the preservation of the Great Vowel Shift, rather than trying to restore the "Continental" vowel values. -- There is / one art || John Cowan <jcowan@...> no more / no less || http://www.reutershealth.com to do / all things || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan with art- / lessness \\ -- Piet Hein
