==Plural clashes with month names==
The plural is creates with the suffix -s.
According to http://www.unish.org/introduce/e_unish_Word.jsp
* 1) Ordinal numbers are created with suffix -me.
* 2) Month names are created with the suffix -mes.
That means "unmes" (January) looks like a plural of unme. In German a plural and use as noun is possible, e.g. "Die Ersten die kamen." "The first [people] that came."

Pronunciation

q

On the page http://www.unish.org/introduce/e_unish_Pronunciation.jsp it says for q:

q is pronounced as in quick

But it also says

[qw]

For w there is a reference to the w in wood.

The q in quick is spoken as [k] as in IPA.

So either the q is spoken as

  • k as in IPA, ca. the q as in quick
  • kw as in IPA, the qu in quick

So maybe it is correct to write for q

1) [kw]
2) q is pronounced as qu in quick

y

On the page http://www.unish.org/introduce/e_unish_Pronunciation.jsp it says for y:

[y]
as y in yellow

If the notation [y] refers to IPA, then it might be correct to write for y:

[j]
as y in yellow
