Yes, I think you can count on feedback. Maybe start asking for
feedback when you have a partial list, so that the task of going
through it is less daunting.
Cool, sounds good. I was thinking I might even solicit feedback at an
earlier stage, one in which the ISO codes and the fu'ivla they form are set
up via some sort of rule... So, for example, if the language ISO code is
CCV and the family code is VCV, then they go into a CCV'VCV fu'ivla, etc.,
for each of the possible combinations. I'll have to look and see how doable
that is; there might still need to be some that would get a different form,
if there is only one or two that have, for example CCC and CCC, it might be
better as an exception than as a rule...
I *still* don't see why the ISO codes are being used *at* *all*. In what way
is this at all an advantage over starting with the autonym and coercing that
into fu'ivla form? It seems like compressing that into three letters, and
then trying to expand those letters back out into a fu'ivla is just adding one
complication after another.
But, yes, I'll certainly let you know as I go along. I have some free time
today, so hope to start looking at it..
