Henrik,

Your sound change rules file (aka rules.sch, aka GMP)
seems to use a fairly well evolved syntax.  How about
making this syntax generally available as a standard
way of describing a "sound change rule schema" for
processing by any program - including, of course, your
scripts in Perl?

I have no comment on your language design except to
say you certainly seem to know what you're doing!
(I know less Icelandic than I do Barsoomian, so any
sense I can make of the  Þrjótran language has to be
based on the little Latin I know.)

BTW, that's a cute pair of consonant sandhi rules:
  nð + r -> nr
  nn + r -> ðr
Does this sort of twisty thing happen in natlangs?

Regards,
Yahya
