Re: BAL (was: Re: TUNU)

Okay, let's get it started.

Of Votic, Finnish and Estonian, Votic has the richest inventory of vowel
phonemes, so I will present that, as well as Lithuanian.
I'd recommend against Lithuanian stress pattern, because it is chaotic.

Votic vowels:

CB system:

Short:
@ - open back unrounded
E - open-mid front unrounded
i - close front unrounded
;m - close back unrounded
o - close-mid back rounded
% - close-mid front rounded
u - close back rounded
y - close front rounded

Long:

@: - long open back unrounded
e: - long close-mid front unrounded
i: - long close front unrounded
;m - long close back unrounded
o: - long close-mid back rounded
%: - long close-mid front rounded
u: - long close back rounded
y: - long close front rounded

Lithuanian vowels

a - open front unrounded
a: - long a
E - open mid front unrounded
e - close-mid front unrounded
i - close front unrounded
i: - long close mid front unrounded
o - close mid back unrounded
O: - long open mid back unrounded
u - close back rounded
u: - long close back rounded

Lithuanian also has syllabic /r/, /m/ and /n/
