Cosmetic Change in Jovian



I'm radically revamping my old Jovian page to do justice to
Modern Jovian.  In that process, I decided to change one of
the most common phenomena in Jovian:  The ending -u as well
as the mute -s in the pronouns is, ys, nis, nys no longer
spawn a [z] as liaison with a following vowel, but a [h], 
since the endings -us, -is, -uius etc had become [@h ih yh]
by the time the sandhi took hold.  The pronouns are now
written ih, yh, nih, nyh to reflect this, removing the 
former ambiguity of the final -s.

I should have the new Jovian page up somewhere in the next
few days.
