I think most people will agree that ought to be and that ought to be .

However, those aren't enough. Suggest more irregular diphthongs!

...we could use as (as in the Faroese "havn")

(I really don't understand this bracketing scheme yet, so forgive any idiocy I may appear to create with it...it is unintentional)

I don't really have any suggestions for irregular diphthongs... That's never been a strong point for me. I tend to stick with logical ones that make sense without having to be memorized.

I'm fine with and as EI suggested, though. I'm not sure how that one sounds. neutral

close to the 'ow' in gown, but much softer.

I think he meant that he was unsure of his opinion on it. mad D

Actually, you're both right.

1. I wasn't sure what the diphthong sounded like.
2. I wasn't sure if it was a good idea.

Either way, I'm still not too sure. sweatdrop

This collaborative conlang thing has died down to a smolder now. sad

Like, 'wo' in 'wrote,' minus the 'r.'
