Peter Constable scripsit:
> Would you consider these too idiosyncratic?
No. The "idio-" in "idiosyncratic" has to do with an individual.
I forgot to point this out earlier, but !Xu phonology isn't idiosyncratic

-- Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the John Cowan portrait of Mona Lisa good if I desire to see jcowan@reutershealth.com it? Is the bust of Sir Philip Crampton lyrical, www.ccil.org/~cowan epical or dramatic? If a man hacking in fury www.reutershealth.com at a block of wood make there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not? --Stephen Dedalus
