Re: [westasianconlangs] Raamaniyaan Grand Master Plan



Very interesting.  I'm looking forward to seeing a
text.  Any idea how far off that might be?

I end up with a lot of /u/ in Carrajena since /o/
becomes /u/ before a nasal other than /m/ and between
any two nasals.  Also initial Latin AU became /u/ in
proto-C-a (medial tonic and nontonic AU do other
things), but probably the largest number of new |u|'s
come from Latin L in clusters though it usually ends
up as /w/.

You skiped Latin U.  How would words like ubero, udo,
ulcero, ullatenus, umbilicaris, uncialis, urbicarius,
usiatio, uterque, uva, uxoratus turn out?
