Such fu'ivla rafsi are irredeemably ambiguous anyway, since there is no
constraint against having two fu'ivla that differ only in the final vowel.
Speakers of Indo-European languages are used to the final vowel of a word
not being essential to its identity, but this will not work for, say, Chine=
se.
