Re: Lojban 'h'

AFAIK, it uses <h> as the UPPERcase version of
letter <'>, so that 'ki'o' becomes 'KIhO' in caps.

It doesn't use 'h' as a separate letter because
phoneme /h/ is already represented by letter <'>.

Lojban's quite absurd use of <h> is surely one of its
main orthographical inconveniences, since no word
processor will convert ' into h using a lowercase-
into-uppercase conversion option nor recognize <h>
as the uppercase counterpart of <'>.
