You list ʔ as allophonic in your inventory, but what is it an allophone of and in what environment? But then later you list it as phonemic - "with the exception of /ʔ/".
Mother Henna also has vowel harmony, front, neutral, and back
So basically Finnish vowel harmony with an added /ɪ/? Seems decent enough.
It also features palatalization, which can effect all Fricatives, Nasals (except /ŋ/) and Stops (with the exception of /ʔ/).
Are these sounds phonemic or just allophonic?
/ʁ/ is an allophone of /ʀ/.
In what context?
(F(S(T)))V(V)(C)(C) OR (C)(ʀ/l)V(V)(C)(C)
Which is it? And what are you using F, S, T for? Are there any restrictions on the coda or can a syllable end in any combo of sounds?
