ai or ay



Before everybody votes, here's what I see as the pros and cons of the
diphthong systems:

Ai system.  Looks better and more natural.  Gau looks nicer than gaw.  And
might as well use it because the ay system will really make it necessary to
prohibit ai, as they'll sound a lot alike.

Ay system.  More consistent, as y makes the same sound in ya and ay.  And
don't have to learn another set of exceptions (that ai, etc, always make
diphthongs.
