0 no => b- (e.g. bau) 1 pa => ca 2 re => de 3 ci => fi 4 vo => go 5 mu => ju 6 xa => ka 7 ze => le 8 bi => mi 9 so => no 10 dau => pu 11 fei => ra 12 gai => se 13 jau => ti 14 rei => vo 15 vai => zu Notes: 1. /x/ is not used in this series because an offical alternative orthography represents it as <h>. 2. The only 5-member CV cmavo series is the FA series, and this could have been changed thus: fa/fe/fi/fo/fu => xa/xe/xi/xo/xu ---- Of course, one needs to take into consideration the fact that this would destroy a number of other alphabetic series. ---- But all destroyed series would have workarounds, e.g. by changing the intitial C. It goes without saying that the above scheme would have caused wholesale reshuffling of the cmavo form--function assignments. ---- ((tinkit)) hmm, i like it. more because the hexadecimal cmavo don't look different than the others.
