quoting Morrígan:

I like the loss of nasals with compensatory lengthening before aspirates, that's kind of a cool touch. As is the behavior of syllabic nasals with respect to stress.

Not much to say about the vowels; I'm never happy with my vowel systems or changes, they always feel wildly derivative, or boring. I need to get back to work on Kuma-Koban in the future; it's literally been like 3 years.

Yeah, my first plan was to pull a Sanskrit, collapse everything but the high vowels, then shuffle things around from there. To the surprise of nobody, there were too many a's and ā's for my liking. (There are a lot of them here, too, but for different reasons). I am also thinking about replacing the laryngeal change (0) to the intial-laryngeals-vocalize-before-consonants change of Greek and Armenian, since Oxic is shaping up to be (most) closely related to Greek.

And welcome back! We've missed you.
