That's a nice one! I see very well happening before /e/ and /i/, while /kw/
would become /p/ before /a/, /o/ and /u/. So we would get a correspondance /p/-
/f/ which is pretty nice :)) .

Christophe.


Actually, I think this is what I'm going to do! Thanks Nick for the KW > F path and Christophe for pointing out the nice pairing of P and F.

So I'd get stuff like:

QUATTRO > patro
QUANDO  > pando
QUALE   > pale
QUINDECIM > findeche
CINQUE  > chinfe
AEQUALE > ebale
AQUA    > aba
LINGUA  > linba > limba or linda
SANGUE  > sanve
QUETARE > fedare
QUI     > fi
QUAERO  > fero
ANTIGUA > antiba

Some of these invoke voicing rules.  I like.  What say you guys?

So lift the cup of joy and take a big drink.
In spite of it all it's a beautiful world.
