What do the rest of you prefer? It's at > http://phma.hn.org/Language/selratni.html . I prefer 'x' because that makes it easier to figure out what the original was (you only need to consider the possibility of it being a glue consonant if it's an x, all other consonants you know come from the original) and also it makes it more likely that diferent people will come up with the same form independently, so you don't need to rely so much on one authoritative source. mu'o mi'e xorxes __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
