Very early in my conlanging career, I made some work on a fictional auxlangized
future English, in which most vowels were "restored" to more usual Latin values.
The one word I remember offhand is _federashen_ "federation", pronounced
[fEdE'raS@n]. Don't ask why the 'o' is left reduced ...

PS, strictly speaking, that 'sh' should be an esh; the orthograph used theta,
eth, esh, ezh and eng in addition to the usual Latin letters. I even invented
uppercase versions of the three later.
