Yes, I've seen all those "BRAAAAIIINS" and green sk= in around but I would favour the original Voodoo myth :)


> = Also, I'd just like to note that I have difficulty pronouncing the term= inal {ii} to be distinct from {i}.

We have a similar problem in Italian with "principii" (= principles) and "principi" (princes). With some exercise they com= e out very distinct.

It shouldn't be difficult at in Lojban. {ii= } is a diphthong pronounced "YEE", {i} is a vowel pronounced &quo= t;EE".

What would be your take on = fu'ivla containing {dii}?

The same as= my take on all fu'ivla: I don't like it.

You'll have to= be more specific if you want a better answer.

Do you notice any difficulties with {dii}?

No. Should I?
<= br>
Allowing {ii} after coronal sounds like {d} causes many fine= minimal contrasts - {di dzi dji zi ji} seems plenty; those with {dii dzii = djii zii jii} seems excessive.=A0

For some people, plain semivowel {i} will be mixed up with some sort of= fricative or affricate even before OPEN vowels. =A0 When you place it near= {i}, you are almost insisting that they (af)fricatize it.

I have no idea what you just said.
