I think we're all agreed that the letters as pronouns is a great idea. We have
13 total:
B as in Boy
C as in SHoe
D as in DuD
F as in FluFF
G as in Good
H as in Hat
J as in pleaSure, French Je
K as in KinK
P as in PiP
S as in So
T as in ToT
V as in Victory
Z as in Zoo
Breaking them down phonetically, we have
p
b
t
d
k
g
f
v
s
z
c
j
(this is with the 25-letter alphabet, reserving x as the digraph-maker)
So, for maximum reduncancy, I go thru this way, as an experiment
First, let's say that the rule is that all these names will be in the form CVV.
Okay?
I'm open to better ideas.
Should they all be two syllables? Say
pai, bia, tau, dua, kao, goa...
Or one-syllable?
pay, bya, tey, dye, kaw, gwa...
Or maybe a pattern like CVq
paq, beq, tiq, doq, kuq.
What we need is a redundant, regular way of doing this. With 13 variations.
We could, for mnemonic purposes, just dip into vocabulary items from various
languages that are NOT otherwise Ceqli words
pay (greek letter)
boy
taw (greek)
dyu (e dew)
kway (bridge over the river)
gwa (guaspi)
fyu (e few)
via (latin) [ I know this is a two-syllable, but we're running out of
diphthongs]
sui (latin sui generis)
zoi (name zoe)
cwey Mandarin water
jwa (joi de vivre)
heo (Ed McMahon HE-o!)
Reactions to any of this? Other suggestions?
Anybody like the Lojban schwa system? buh, cuh, duh?
