Well, only a little bit of it.  I've put up a page about the grammar, at
http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Conlang/E-Inflection.html

I will put up a page on pronunciation, and perhaps a small one about
what I know of the syntax so far.

A quick guide on pronunciation:

Consonants are easy, no surprise correspondences.  The r is an alveolar
approximant.

Vowels:
Stressed and pre-stress
i, u, a, @ as their IPA equivalents
e, o =3D /E/, /O/
=E8, =F2 (e, o with grave) =3D /e/, /o/ - when stressed written with =20
circumflex.
ey, ow =3D /ej/, /ow/

When nasalized, i and =E8 are /e~/, u and =F2 are /o~/, e, o, a and @ are
/A~/

Post-stress, all vowels are /@/ or /A~/

--=20
