Wow, this is fun! I have made som minor changes to the GMP
since I sent it to you. Notably all unstessed non-final
short *E*s now become *I and hence are liable to disappear,
cause *tdnl to palatalize and cause vowels in the preceding
syllable to lengthen. I've also somewhat changed (limited)
the scope of second and third palatalization. Last but not
least the workings of analogy are not included in the GMP...

_lbre_ should of course be _lber_ from LIBRU.
'God' is actually _Dej_, genitive _Dejy_; run it as *de'us*.
The merging of the second and fourth declension comes
to play too, hence the -y in the genitive.

_jä_: I see you have run the program with the
_ä_ switch on. I never actually did that, since I've
not decided all the features of the western dialect yet.
_prjaczeplju_: why is there no _ä_ here?
>*2: Caelum autem erat ita humiliter super terrà,
> > 2: cél ute jera ta vombltre spre tera,
_ta_: I like that, I think I'll keep it!
_vombltre_: should be _vombli_. The ablative is
used adverbially (abbreviated from HUMILI MODO.)
Also in the 3d declension the ablative singular
merged with the dative.
>*ut fìliì Hominis nequièrunt stàre èrectè
> > vo vilji ónj nekvljarú stare jeretje
_vo_: should be _modu_. _vilji_ is spelled _vili_.
_Hominis_: HOMO is either irregular _ome_ or replaced
by HOMULLUS > _ombol_. The gen.sg. of _ome_ is _omi_,
of _ombol_ _omoly_.
_nekvljarú_: _(sú) nekvity_ < SUNT NEQUITI
_stare_: _stár_ < STÂRI.
_jeretje_: _jerecu_ < ERECTO (MODO).

DILATATOR: _dilatature_, since nominative and accusative merged.
Well, I have to put my son to bed now, but you get the
general idea...
