<p>I changed a couple of dozen words in Cadhinor and Verdurian, in order
to make the transition between the two work better.
My apologies.
<p>A list will only make is seem worse, since most of you will never
have seen these words, but I thought I'd better provide one. I think
the only really big change is <b>beluán</b> for <b>beluan</b>.

<p>If you're wondering <b>"Why??"</b>, all of these changes turn an
irregular into a regular derivation. For instance, <i>baetra</i>
would regularly go to <i>becha</i>, which is wrong; but <i>baetera</i>
correctly becomes <i>betra</i>. <i>Shobóst</i> and <i>beluánd</i> keep the stress
on the same syllable as in Cadhinor. <i>Elória</i> puts the
stress where it should have been in the first place. And so on.
<p>I've updated all the Cadhinor material on the web, as well as a few
minor references elsewhere. The Thematic Dictionary isn't yet updated,
since it's awaiting a mondo-massive update anyway. And the Ismaîn
and Barakhinei grammars aren't updated yet, since now that I know
exactly where the stress fell on each Cadhinor word, I want to reflect
this in Barakhinei as well.
