I think it would be easier to test with actual sentences that make sense, rather than word lists and (mostly) nonsense sentences. The main problems I detect, (besides the lack of some sensible prosody), are that lerfu pairs cyfy, syky, zydy, etc. sound all alike, and that "z" sounds almost always wrong. For example ".ezo" sounds like "emo" and "zvati" sounds like "smati". mu'o mi'e xorxes
