Re: Problems with Ayeri

<snip the sound changes>

I'm not sure what was meant by scrapping the vocabulary and
starting over from scratch, but I think I sort of agree.   Most of
those sound changes are just impossible.   I mean, I suppose they
could happen over millenia (anything can happen, right?), but I
don't think it'd be worth your time to try to come up with real
sound changes.   Rather than just dumping your old vocabulary,
keep it all, and just use the alterations you suggest, and basically
pretend that they were that way the whole time.   But in doing
this, make a copy of your old Ayeri and keep it somewhere.   I've
taken a couple languages and totally changed every aspect of them
just keeping the name, the orthography, maybe the basic phonemes,
etc., but I always make sure to keep a copy of the old one, just in
case--and just for personal historical reasons.
