Unbounded Stress Types: A Secondary Stress: A Vowel Length Inventories: A and C Fusion of Selected Inflectional Formatives: B (I am not sure what a head-marking isolating language looks like, but I checked WALS and apparently at least some exist...)

Re: Typological voting game

Weight-sensitive stress runoff: E

I suggest there only be long a: and e:, and (if we haven't already ruled this out) that the long high vowels have collapsed into diphthongs (something like ei, əɨ, and ow) at some point in the language's history.

Re: Quick Diachronics Challenge

What were the corresponding reflexes for other consonants? Did combinations like [ʔm], [ʔʟ], [ʔs] also produce stops? Also, you would expect [ʔv] to shift to [p], not [t]. You're right, I would expect that too, but this seemed like a case of a natlang already did it worse. The complete change is: ʔ...
