While I've long admired the design principles at work in Ladekwa
(and
Katanda, Nasendi, etc.), I've always thought all iterations make
really ugly-sounding tongue-twister words, and that the semivowels are
at the heart of it. (Maybe I should've spoken up about it before
now.)
Maybe it's just me, but the SV combinations seem much more
tongue-tripping in succession than the VS ones. (Though I'll admit
I'm no linguist.)
The more I think about
Ladekwa's sound system, the more I like it just the way it is, tongue-tripping
and all. It's coherent, consistent, and the individual sounds are easy
to pronounce. It's my unfounded belief that the difficulty in
pronunciation will disappear as a matter of getting used to it.
