I still think this is too Spanish/Welsh. French, Portuguese,
Catalan, Occitan all have "messy" spelling systems, and Romanian
is rational only because it is 19th century --- before that,
Cyrillic was used. I like felig. If we can tolerate silent -t
in -nt, silent final -f, what's so bad about alternative
pronunciations of -g?
