I can only think of 2 words with that accent on an 'e' -> 'dêem', 'vêem', oh, oh... a third, 'têm') and all those wonderful diphthongs that kids hate in school! 'ão', 'ães', 'ões', etc...
That's the plan, at least. You guys think it may be worth the trouble?
Yes. But I warn you I am extremely untalented in this area. I have no ear for language. I often just can't hear the difference between a pronunciation someone is correcting for me and what it is they're saying. (This is a cause of much consternation for me when trying to pronounce people's names correctly.)
I will note that there is still no "I" in têm'.
