Phonology

  • No rounded vowels; i e ɛ a ʌ ɤ ɯ (assuming backness is possible), with short, long and overlong
  • "Rostral" (beak) instead of "labial"? Should I have these sounds at all? conventionally transcribed as if they were labials
  • Glottal won't make sense
  • Rostral: /p b f v ʙ/
  • Palatal: /c ɟ ç j l r/
  • Pharyngeal: /ħ ʕ/
