"q" is an hypothetical new consonant. It has nothing to do with guttural q=C3=A2f, or any guttural, hence any "k" or "kh" or "q". It is just a void symbol like "x" in algebra. > A simpler solution: > > : <- [=CB=90] > > a: > e: > i: > o: > u: > so'a: > so'e: > so'i: > so'o: > so'u: > ... This does not work, nor does "VqV" either. Why ? Because, suppose somebody mispronounces the "a" and "e" vowels. This would indeed be a source of noise. What then ? She will say "=C3=A6" instead of both "a" and "e". But then, saying "=C3=A6q=C3=A6" or "=C3=A6:" instead of "=C3=A6" does not = help. Thus, another kind of solution is needed ! --=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= lojban" group.
