Ayeri: Longer text & Sound example

Hey!

I've put myself at translating the story of the "Northwind

Here's the FIRST SENTENCE. (T = Trigger, otherwise as usual)

It's 16 sec long! The longest recording that has ever been
made in Ayeri :-)

Ack, I know that it has too much [aoaeaoiaoe] and
[nAnggAnggAng] in it. This is due to the grammar in
most cases and no language sounds 100% beautiful. OK, maybe
except Tolkien's langs, but he as t3h m45t0r 0f k0nl4n6z
th4t r0x0rz y00r s0x0rz doesn't count :-P

Enjoy & please comment,
