Some random thoughts here, I'm not suggesting this is necessarily a good idea:

aaa -> bangu'a'a'a
aab -> bangu'a'abu
aba -> bangu'abu'a
abb -> bangu'abubu
baa -> bangubu'a'a
bab -> bangubu'abu
bba -> bangububu'a
bbb -> bangubububu

The remaining problem would be what to do with codes containing h, q,
w, y, which cannot appear in fu'ivla.

One option is to convert h->x, q->k, w->v, y->j and use a different
vowel (instead of "u") for those, so:

aah -> bangu'a'axe
aqa -> bangu'ake'a
aww -> bangu'aveve
yaa -> banguje'a'a

This scheme is univocal and reversible.
