And what about poor 'ew' and 'ow'??

If there's something I definitely dislike in Lojban
that's its continuous use of sound h. It seems as
though I had a cough when I pronounce Lojban.

I think it would be better if you allowed pinvor to
be not only CV and CVhV, but also CVV (i.e. CV?V)
and CVjV and CVwV at least. That would introduce
more phonic variety. Just a suggestion.
