Now I'm liking the '-zy' for the lojban 'bu'. I see it as being used for
non-consonants. .azy ('AH-zuh) .ezy, etc. and maybe .alazy for 'l',
.emezy, inizy, .orozy, .uquzy. AND, we can use it for the military
alphabet where preciseness is obligatory. Analagous to 'A as in Apple', we
have (word that begins with X)zy for the letter X. That works very well for
C's letter b is called baluzy "the 'bear' letter' For nonconsonants I
suppose names would do. Probably historical names. And names that end with
a consonant that won't clash with z. That will take some thinking.
But, once we've picked the military letter names, like baluzy, we can derive
the regular names from _those_ baluzy > b a u > baw, cajni > caj.
Obviously, we'll select the military names so that they will produce regular
names that have sufficient redundancy. That is, with 'baw' we obviously
won't want 'paw, daw or gaw'
