			<p>We have discussed many times whether to include a <span class="ipa">x</span>-like sound. On one hand, without it, some words were not easy to derive (e.g. the Proto Germanic <span class="type_word lang_gem">nahts</span> (English: <span class="type_word lang_eng">night</span>)). On the other hand we found that the sound is very disconcerting to those, who don't have it in the phonology of their mother tongue. Eventually we have decided to exclude it from the draft, since it seemed to be too much of a trouble maker; finding words was not that much of an issue in the end.</p>

			<p>The letters <span class="type_letter lang_flk">ö</span> and <span class="type_letter lang_flk">ü</span> were not included inconsiderately. Effectively every Germanic language has an <span class="ipa">ø</span>-like sound in its phonology, but the main reason for the inclusion of these sounds was that altering the vowels of affected words to "near" vowels (e.g. <span class="ipa">i</span> &larr; <span class="ipa">y</span> &rarr; <span class="ipa">u</span>) most of the times resulted in disconcerting and unsatisfying creations. However the modern Germanic languages often feature vowel shifts throughout their natural evolution; some switching to the one and some switching to the other. Therefore we felt it was more convenient to have these sounds as compromises and connectors between the languages.</p>
			<p>We also struggled to find proper written representations of these sounds. One possibility was to use the IPA-like symbols <span class="type_letter lang_flk">ø</span> and <span class="type_letter lang_flk">y</span>, like e.g. Norwegian does. Unfortunatelly this had taken away the possibility to have the alternative writings <span class="type_letter lang_flk">oy</span> and <span class="type_letter lang_flk">uy</span>, which we considered important, since not everybody can easily type non-standard Latin letters. So we arranged to use diaeresis, like German and Swedish does.</p>
