I agree about JOhI, MAhO and NAhU, not deserving of to be learnt, and I would add: FUhA BIhE PEhO But I think NIhE and MOhE (and hence TEhU) are potentially *extremely* useful. Had they not existed, I probably would have been agitating for them (and persuading noone). As for VUhU, it isn't worthwhile as a selmaho, but some of its members are worth having, though they could be in PA. One probably can't get away with learning no members of VUhU (e.g. gei). --And.
