Zompist Bboard Again

While I was researching lexical sets for Baby's First English Orthographic Reform, I found out that the "long U" sound of new , mute , accuse , human belongs in the GOOSE set, presumably analyzed as the sequence /ju/, with its rhotic counterpart in pure likewise lumped togther alongside yo...

In the meantime, I've already managed to compile two full batches of gleblangs, the first of which will be published soon.
Oh, and I've improved my weirdness quality control, so rest assured that those two batches will contain a good deal of lingustic weirdness.

Hol' up Seed #1617839289 doesn't seem too weird: /t k ʔ/ /f s h/ /m n/ /w ɾ j/ /i e a o u/ But here is its syllable structure: (C1)(C2)(C3)V(G)(C4) C1: an alveolar consonant; i.e. one of /n t s ɾ/ C2: a consonant other than /j/ C3: a consonant other than /j/ V: a vowel G: a semivowel; i.e. one of /...

Y'know, I actually nicknamed Huabachubuem "African Nahuatl" before it got its name, and intentionally based its transcription on Nahuatl's.
