Minutes from the League's discussion of quy as a replacement for cy
Tybori Craudi Xeberau formally proposed the change, citing the
clarity it would give to the Language for Continental* learners.
Thereupon Xoch Caunhori Csifiaun arose, greatly wroth, and spoke upon
the blight which pandering to Continental interests had brought upon
the Language. Fybri Obydi Xcundau spoke in aid of Craudi Xeberau,
saying that both options should be available to writers of the
Language, who could use either as the will dictated. Ruci Urac Aurati
pointed out that the Obydi Xcundau's viewpoint was governed by
aesthetic desire, rather than concern for the purity and consistency
of the Language. Obydi Xcundau was incensed by this remark and rose
to speak in defense of poetic freedom, but Je Craudi Frimau
interrupted. Craudi Frimau said that if the Continental languages
felt free to vary the spelling of the sound `ka' according to local
standards, then surely those who spoke the Language should be allowed
such distinctions. Therefore he did not support a change which would
diminish such independence. All concerned in this matter then turned
to the two eldest members, Marc Antaunh Arjyf and Marc Antaunh
Arjycrau, who declined to speak and said that the way they would vote
was the only truly important factor. After this had been said, Craudi
Xeberau called for a vote on the issue. The votes fell as listed
below:
Marc Antaunh Arjyf Against
Marc Antaunh Arjycrau Against
Fybri Obydi Xcundau For
Ruci Urac Aurati Against
Xoch Caunhori Csifiaun Against
Je Craudi Frimau Against
Tybori Craudi Xeberau For
