I looked at the sound changes to check, and it seems there are a lot of new morphological effects, IINM. So we might reconsider our declension and conjugations from time to time. The rest is fine I think.
Another question: Are toneless syllables considered to be mid tones at this point, do they bear a phonetic transition pitch or do we want to introduce spreading rules.

Let's have that as question 85.
Right now they are assumed to be mid-tone, but we should have a question whether assimilatory or dissimilatory spreading occurs.

80) Regressive vowel umlaut to regenerate mid-vowels
Spoiler:
<Since we have the diphthongs ai and au, my suggestion is that they monophthongize to /e/ and /o/, and following this final i and o "duplicate" backwards. Looking back at my 1st declension conjugations, an interesting ablaut would occur here. The ego form would become aumu, meanwhile the subjunctive form would be aimi (aimis, aimit, amemus, ametis)>
a) Yes 4
b) No 4
Recount will occur

81) Delete word initial vowels if they are followed by a nasal
Spoiler:
<imperium→impirju→mpirju>
a) Yes 6
b) No 1
Word initial vowels will be deleted if followed by a nasal

82) Make initial nasals prenasalized stops
Spoiler:
<magicus→magìk→mbagìk >
a) Yes 4
b) No 4
A recount will occur

83) Voice initial prenasalized stops
Spoiler:
<This is dependent on 81. mpirju→mbirju >
a) Yes 6
b) No 2
Initial prenasalized stops will be voiced

84) Scenario: WIXÚRJA We barely eke out a victory against the Jukuns; amazing considering how unprepared we were for the war. What should we do to our newly vanquished foes
Spoiler:
<We have lost many men, them as well. Our population is only 250 people, losing 90 men. They have lost nearly 200. While their population is 310 people, it is mostly women>
a) Enslave our foes 2
b) "Integrate" our foes into our society 8
c) Create an tribute system 3
d) Upright violence (killing, torture, christ-knows-what) 1
e) Forgive them completely; Start diplomatic relations with the Jukuns. 2
We will integrate our foes into our society

85) How many recounts should occur before a question is tabled?
<This question will be run with STV voting. You should rank all the options, or else your vote may not be heard. You should do this by ordering the responses from most favored to least favored. For example, putting edcba indicates that you want the most possible amounts of recounts.>
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
e) 4

86)Regressive vowel umlaut to regenerate mid-vowels
<Since we have the diphthongs ai and au, my suggestion is that they monophthongize to /e/ and /o/, and following this final i and o "duplicate" backwards.

a) Yes
b) No

87) Make initial nasals prenasalized stops

<magicus→magìk→mbagìk >
a) Yes
b) No

88) Scenario: We have the mainly female group join our village. Within a couple of years, they become largely mixed within our community. Slowly we begin to gain words, especially the names of vegetables and such. A nativist sentiment develops from the original inhabitants. Should we begin to curb back our use of foreign words?

Re: Collabromlang

I've had a look at the sound changes and their outcomes, and I have a few comments:

- We need a few clean-up rules. For instance, adop'tare currently gives ada˦w'ta˨r (or ada˦wa˦ra if the stress is not explicitly marked), which should probably be adau˦'ta˨r instead, and 'sanctus gives 'sanxtu, which should probably be either 'sanxu˦ or 'sanku˦.

- Also, I would suggest adding a few rules at the beginning of the SC list to deal with orthographic exceptions, e.g. <ph th kh y> in Greek loanwords (originally these would have been pronounced /pʰ tʰ kʰ y/, but by the time of Vulgar Latin they had mostly become /f t k i/ IIANM; I think the latter should be our starting point).

- The changes p/˦/V_[sʃ] followed by p[ʃs]/ff/_ have been voted for, but they don't make much sense in this combination IMO, because /ps/ almost always appears after vowels. In www.perseus.tufts.edu I have found only four words of reasonable frequency that would be affected by our second rule: psalmus > ffalmu, psalterium > ffalírju, palimpsestus > palimffìθ, and the prefix pseudo- > ffiuda-. (Also relevant: urbs > aurp if originally /urps/ because the final /s/ is deleted earlier.) None of these are positions where a geminate /ff/ is likely to be retained, although I must admit it looks good. I would therefore suggest a rule about simplifying geminate consonants at some point, possibly with some tonal effects (e.g. adjacent vowels get high tone if the simplified geminate is voiceless, and low tone if the geminate is voiced).

- I propose adding an exception to the sound change CtV/CV˦/_, which should IMO not apply after nasals (so that medial /nt/ clusters survive for now).

- I propose a sound change r,l → ˨ / VV_C, VV_# except VV_[jw]V; possibly accompanied by r,l → i,u(˨?) / V_C, V_# except V_[jw]V
(This would give e.g. urbs > aùp, Marcus > Maìku, albus > aùbu)

It is. It's just that I (the "owner" (I guess)) have school right now, and I'm trying to avoid conlanging as a result.
