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? --Trɔpʏliʊm • blah 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] 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.
