Now, after agonizing over it for months, I'm seriously considering modifying the names of letters as letters and as anaphora. They're just too long the way...
... Happy New Year! You ruled out schwa as an allophone of "e", correct? In that case, I think your suggestion is okay...but you still need a mechanism to...
... Yes. A symptom of too much Chinese and German. ... I think, in the first place, that the anaphora will have at least some stress to them, and the...
Further musing.... I may have optimized this at buy and bew, at least as far as anaphora are concerned. As for the -tsi series, we could probably let that be...
In keeping with that last, we will say that the sequence he can't appear anywhere else, and that he-V will include a glottal stop. -- Rex F. May (Baloo) Buy my...
... I've thought about it, and can't see why it wouldn't. It suits phonology okay, and is peculiar only insofar as it brands a word as a borrowing. ... -- Rex...
I haven't really thought too hard about stress in Ceqli. Since Mandarin doesn't seem to worry about it, and given the extreme analytic nature of Ceqli, I've...
I just realized that I have two Cyu's, dyu and fyu. Fyu is a very good mnemonic, so I change dyu to dea (the greek DEltA) pay (greek letter) boy taw (greek) ...
"Pay" is the English pronunciation of the Greek letter "pi." Rex May <rmay@...> wrote:pay (greek letter) ... Do you Yahoo!? Better first dates. More second...
"Be" frustrates me, because it seems to want badly to be unstressed, as in: Spun bedan pani. And it seems like any other Ceqli compound word doesn't have that ...

I've been frustrated by the fact that while ci, ca, cu refer to places, co and ce refer to things. That is, co means `what was just said' and ce means `what...
... In any case, if you decide to keep using it, you should list it among the consonants (or weaks?) in the phonology page. ... That might work well. A...
... snip ... it'll stay ... for plain ... least useful ... affricates ... My reasoning was thus: Among the large languages likely to deliver a lot of...
Why not distinguish between initial and non-initial consonants, calling them "initials" and "non-initials" for short? "Vowels" would then be your third group. ...
... OK, that makes some sense. It would not be a bad thing to talk about that some on the Ceqli site - maybe in an appendix or note at the end of the...
Hm. Just playing around with permissible initial clusters... As you said, Eo doesn't make a list anywhere that I know of, but there are what seem to be rules....
... There are implicit rules *now*, which can be deduced by a posteori analysis of the words actually used in Esperanto. The fact that there were no explicit...
Okay, I think I've got it. What I've been calling consonants will be cwaba (leaders) and non-consonants will be called faloba (followers). They are therefore...
Okay, I'm having doubts. Should I allow "Xy" as in xyen or xyu (and, implicitly also "Cy")? I fear they're among the harder combinations to pronounce, and...
... Certainly, but what you said before led me to realize that I was misusing terms by conflating the phonemic description of sounds with the functional ...
