[Lingtyp] contrast between [ɪ] and [e]

[Christian Lehmann]

Thanks to everybody for your helpful hints. I will certainly 
countercheck my phonetic ear.
As for my question #2, I will heed Larry's hint "(15c) is the expected 
7V system worldwide". Indeed, [e] and [o] figure among the cardinal 
vowels, while [ɪ] and [ʊ] do not.
@ Ian and Martin: I assume that the general principles you mention imply 
an answer to one of my questions. Would you mind giving me a clue in 
this respect?
