Well, not really, because several will lack minimal pairs. You just keep
separate spellings to make the vocabulary easier to recognize.

While I am at it, I'll repeat my recommendation against having minimal pairs
between W and V. Minimal pairs between P/B and F may also cause trouble for
many people. On the other hand, minimal pairs between V and F are almost
harmless, at least as long as W is available.

Are there any minimal pairs between H and K, by the way?

Good idea. Words for "bad/good" or "dreadful/fantastic" will handle that
function at least as well.

(Pet peeve alert: It's "pejorative", from Latin peior "worse"; no relation
to "perjury".)

I suppose that's an important reason why not all languages are isolating.

I'm quite pleased with the other changes. Keep up the good work! :-)
