I believe names >are assignable (I remember someone naming variables with {goi la .ab.} and >{goi la .ac.}) and I came up with an idea to take advantage of the rule about >"la" in names. Since no pause is required before a consonant which begins a >name, and a name can be a single consonant, {la d.} can legitimately be >pronounced {lad.} (which is good, because it's rather tough to pronounce if you >_do_ put a pause before the d). So now you've got 17 assignable, >single-syllable words which you can use like {goi lab.} Only 16 - using lar. for this purpose would be blasphemy, as r. is the god of hesitation. --la kreig.daniyl.
