So, I've decided to experiment with a new approach, and I'll be working
on it over the next several days.  It's very simple:

   Modifier ::= CV or CVn, where C is b c d f g j k p s t v or z

   Classifier ::= CSV or CVS

   In other words, the new approach discards the voiced-unvoiced
   distinction.  Modifiers and classifiers can use any of the
   consonants.  Root morphemes that do NOT contain a semi-vowel are
   modifiers.  Those that DO contain a semi-vowel are classifiers.


This is reminiscent of Nasendi, I think.
