Play it by ear. Definitely! I'm a strong believer in the "fit" of certain
sounds to certain concepts. Using computers to design languages is a
sacrilege! On the topic of sounds, I feel a second conleng coming on,
notably lacking the mellifluousness of Omeina. I'd especially like to
include labiodental sounds made with the bottom teeth contacting the top
lip. I doubt very much whether any natlangs have this - but is there someone
out there who does?
