RE: Orthography

[Padraic Brown <pbrown@nova.umuc.edu>]

I tend to like ff/f as well.  I tend to think on it as one of the factors
that distinguish Castreleonese "prestige" dialect from the Country
dialects, which use f/v.  I might also tend to frown on a bowlderised
orthography that eliminates _too_ many odd features.

I also like the use of g' for fellig'.  Either the apostrphe or dot-over. 
Does this mean c' would be the corresponding voiceless form?  A recent
translation project entailed giving a Brithenig name for the English city
of Norwich, which gave me a devil of a time trying to come up with a way
to represent the -ch.  I settled on "Noruice", which seems to end up
rather close enough. 

I wouldn't emigrate either, for what ever it's worth. ;-)
