Putting the letters and phonemes in a table, with IPA as well as English/French approximations, would look more professional and be clearer. Let me know if you want help with that. You might note that |tc| and |dj| have an analogue in French (which uses |tch| and |dj| for those sounds). >xweylu - XWEY-lu Is this a typo for "cweylu"? You might show X-SAMPA or IPA pronunciations for these stress examples, e.g. in this case /"Sej.lu/. >gx - fricative as in Urdu baGH >kx - unvoiced version of GH I'm not familiar with Urdu. Are these the velar fricatives /G/ and /x/, or uvular fricatives /R/ and /X/? If velar fricatives, |hx| would be slightly less odd than |kx| because it is also used in x-convention Esperanto. Either way, you should give IPA symbols as well, and maybe equivalents in more languages than just Urdu. >All Tceqli morphemes have the shape nCnF. Is |C| standing for |cwaba| here? If so it should be |T|. Also, you might use regular expression syntax, like T+F+, or [ptkbdgfvcjszh]+[aeiouywlrmnq]+ -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry
