Ooh, that reminds me of an early language concept of mine, where all
the inflections after person, tense, aspect etc. would be concentrated
in a "vector", one of a small groups of select auxiliary verbs, and
leave the actual verb unscathed (and thus recognizable).  Articles
would do the same thing for nouns.

That would be /O:/ in X-SAMPA.  Might I ask why you don't use |au|
to represent that sound?  Both components of |ou| seem to suggest a
vowel higher than /O/.

And does Omeina have a web site?  I'd be interested to learn more
about the lang.
