Re: Improved (Short) Ygyde

For the record, I think at least some Pidse will come from this dialect;
it should provide more fun with the extra consonant clusters.

Pidse /wID@/ is a conlang based on an evolved, or withered, form of
Ygyde, one of the world's best IALs.[1] One of the designing principles
of it was to make Ygyde more interesting, but the *real* one was because
I'm disappointed that Maggel is more maggelous than Etabnanni, which is
in obvious dire need of correction. Maggel may well end up being more
maggelous than Pidse, but at least I started out with a regular
language. The orthography is a chain-shifted form of a reasonably
conservative form of the language (the P is a wynn).

[1]: at least, it can't be any worse than the world's worse IAL.
