This compounding system is mostly good, but there's a problem in the phonology:
My linguistics-trained but English-speaking brain refuses to accept "qc" as a valid mid-word consonant cluster, and insists on a phonology rule to put a vowel in between. (I realize there are several ways of mapping q and c into IPA, but none of them worked for me in this case.)
I drafted the words with the phonology rules of http://selpahi.de/ToaqAlphaPrimer.html
caiqis the first syllable of the word andcethe second.But I grant you that at the moment I don't understand enough about phonology to publish a working draft of a language. My intent with this post was more to present the compounding system that I consider to be useful.
Ohhhh, <q> is pronounced /ŋ/. Knowing that, I can pronounce it now. (English usually spells /ŋ/ as <ng>.)
