The proper way to name things is with names. Invent a convention which involves the appropriate vowels and ends with a consonant. Of course, you can't prevent people from using these names for something else. But yes, if you want to copy the Western conventions, you can use letterals A-G and some experimental cmavo meaning "sharp" and "flat". -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
