Hmm.

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).
