Do _a:i:_ and _a:i_ form diphthongs? If so, how would they be distinguished from each other? It seems like they'd both become something like /a:j/

How did /s/ become /S/? And can /s/ exist after "small" vowels? Do all {c}'s = /x/, or just those in coda position? -- 1 Wakalláf watyánivaf plal 273 http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Conlang/W.html http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
