I'm looking at this now...

1186 samples. Ow.

When I counted how many samples would hypothetically be needed, I got
339.

The difference is you're considering, say, "f-ui" a diphone, where I'd
consider "ui" to be the diphone "u-i".

Many of these can't even appear without pauses, like "f-ui" or "ai-oi".

You also left out all vowel-apostrophe diphones.

I actually considered even the common diphthongs to be diphones, so that
"f-ai" would not be a diphone but would come from "f-a" and "a-i". Is
this wrong? If so, then the total number of samples would be more than I
got, but certainly less than 1186.
