I think I'm mostly happy with this. I'll probably end up combining some to simplify it. Vowel harmony makes this a real pain to read, each number or Greek letter indicates a vowel according to a unique vowel harmony paradigm, so technically this is a paradigm with more nested paradigms.

For example the "Ω" character means that the vowel is /ʌ/ ⟨o⟩ if the preceding vowel is either an /i/ ⟨i⟩ or /ʌ/, otherwise the vowel is /ɯ/ ⟨u⟩.

There are 24 of these vowel harmony paradigms and they're labeled 2-Ω. I excluded 0, 1, and the Greek letters Α, Β, Ι, Λ, Μ, Ν, Ξ, and Ο to avoid confusion. (well Ξ was just because it looks too weird, but the others are too close to letters used in the English romanization) I used Greek letters because the English Alphabet didn't have enough leftover and I didn't want to use any diacritics since each vowel paradigm can be nasalized as well and I rather not stack diacritics on top of one another if I can avoid it.

~Also shout-out to the Cousine font for supporting all the Greek letters with (centered) nasal diacritics as well as the numerals~

Now to do it four more times for the other tenses for 288 suffixes...

and then make all the PhoMo rules on CWS.....

oh god why did I do this to myself

Also just discovered that I've been misspelling deontic as denotic (spellcheck doesn't recognize either as a word for me) which is how I've been pronouncing it /dɛˈnɑt.ɪk/ and now I'm sad because I like pronouncing that way more
