Well, basically, to develop a vowel harmony you'd need to turn your triangular system into a rectangular one. Thus, you need at least two low vowels. You could for instance split the low vowel into [&] and [A] or some other variation thereof. Pavel -- Pavel Iosad pavel_iosad@mail.ru Nid byd, byd heb wybodaeth --Welsh saying
