Question: There is now a root-final <j> appearing. Is this intended to be an obstruent of some kind? Or if it's just /j/, is it intended to contrast with <i> as appears in boib, tsai etc? --Trɔpʏliʊmblah 12:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Question : There is a morphological function where a homo-organic nasal is inserted before the caudal consonant, but we have a problem, because what happens with the root [tsʼun], what does it become? Does it become simply [ts’un], or [ts’ũn], or [ts’unː], or [ts’uːn], or [ts’ũːn]? ave mathyiw at maye

I think it's in the spirit of the game to just decide oneself on answers to these questions if they worry one. So, with only that authority, here's what I might do:
  • <j> is /j/ behaving morphophonologically as a final C; <i> after a V can also be [j] (not in [ɔ.i] though, I guess) but then it's morphophonologically part of the root vowel.
  • It seems the least exceptional thing is for /tsʼun/ to go to /tsʼunn/, but that might be realised like one of the other things you suggested.
