I was actually thinking of something more radical:  replace all syllabic
consonants with yC throughout the language.  Ivan Derzhanski argued for
this long ago, and I now think he was correct: they reduce readability
and make things more awkward.  Syllabic consonants were introduced by
JCB, and I think we should have discarded them for Lojban; Loglan wound
up being more dependent on them, and writing them double.

Indeed.
