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

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

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