Having used the phrase "look plausible" and "Miguel" in the same
sentence, I'm sure Piotr is being highly diplomatic as usual and
I, being who I am, am less patient. (It's probably due to my cruel
childhood.)
Oh well, at least I'm not mad nor alone in demanding that a
proto-language vowel system have at the very least a low/high
contrast.
