I don't know how you could work that out from the cmavo list.

O joy! thou hast let there be light:
with revelatory powers of sight
my ken thou hast furnished,
and lo! here shine burnished
thy jewels macaronic and bright...

   On fatness that beanpole is slim,
   yet he gets made to look far from trim,
   like a mountain of gunge,
   by the earthquaking plunge
   of the bed going crunch under him.
