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. -------Suzanne Knutzen _________________________________________________________________Join the world?s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
