I think we should. I prefer "tolcliva" to "tolyli'a"; the algorithm 
prefers "tolyli'a". I prefer "ki'asku" to "kixsku", as I do "ke'umri" 
to "refmri", but am more likely to say "kixsku" because I used it in Le Petit 
Navire for scansion reasons.

I also think the numbers of points given to syllables, letter combos, etc. 
should be relatively prime and closer to each other in order of magnitude.
