Way back when I codified the sound changes from Zamétule to Proto-Maroinulic (which in turn is the parent of my primary conlang, Paleto) I had the following rules: ps ks > ɸ x (and possibly ts > θ) f > ɸ (this could really be anywhere, the point is just that PM had /ɸ/ but no /f/) k > x / _y[-str] o...

For a bit, I was thinking about making a way to write Palethian with Hebrew letters, but it didn't work well.

(Though this got me thinking about it again…hmmm.)

I feel like having uvular non-stops without other uvular consonants is pretty okay. That being said, do you mean there's no velars in your original pool except /x/? (You could also try weirder things like /xʷ/ > /ʍ/ or /w/ or /ɣ/ or /g/ or something.)

I assume the last rule in your allophony means that /r/ induces rounding. It seems a little odd to me that this rounding only occurs in this one context, but on the other hand rhotics do weird things to vowels all the time. Your verbs are more realistic than a lot of nonconcatenative conlangs (I app...

In addition to what those above me said, varying the length of your words a bit more might make them feel more natural.
