Re: [romanceconlang] Vowel Alterations

Anyhow, one point of possible interest is that some nouns and adjectives
change quality of the stressed vowel in the plural. Examples:

Is this the outcome of a sequence of regular shifts, or did you just think it was cool? ;)

I haven't come up with a plausible sequence that results in both flore>flur and torres>tars; the raising and lowering forces tend to undo each other.
