Minutes from the League's discussion of quy as a replacement for cy Tybori Craudi Xeberau formally proposed the change, citing the clarity it would give to the Language for Continental* learners. Thereupon Xoch Caunhori Csifiaun arose, greatly wroth, and spoke upon the blight which pandering to Continental interests had brought upon the Language. Fybri Obydi Xcundau spoke in aid of Craudi Xeberau, saying that both options should be available to writers of the Language, who could use either as the will dictated. Ruci Urac Aurati pointed out that the Obydi Xcundau's viewpoint was governed by aesthetic desire, rather than concern for the purity and consistency of the Language. Obydi Xcundau was incensed by this remark and rose to speak in defense of poetic freedom, but Je Craudi Frimau interrupted. Craudi Frimau said that if the Continental languages felt free to vary the spelling of the sound `ka' according to local standards, then surely those who spoke the Language should be allowed such distinctions. Therefore he did not support a change which would diminish such independence. All concerned in this matter then turned to the two eldest members, Marc Antaunh Arjyf and Marc Antaunh Arjycrau, who declined to speak and said that the way they would vote was the only truly important factor. After this had been said, Craudi Xeberau called for a vote on the issue. The votes fell as listed below: Marc Antaunh Arjyf Against Marc Antaunh Arjycrau Against Fybri Obydi Xcundau For Ruci Urac Aurati Against Xoch Caunhori Csifiaun Against Je Craudi Frimau Against Tybori Craudi Xeberau For
