About Lasarite
Had a dream with a really catchy song (was in major pentatonic) and it was sung in a conlang (also pretty simple sounding) and my word the singer had a smooth-as-butter voice. Felt like jotting down the phonetics of it. Definitely certain /dz/ and /pʷ/ are phonemic and both /g/ and post-alveolars do not exist :P
Had a lot of /j/ before vowels, too. Almost like a palatalized system but, like, before it became a slender vs. broad system.
