Changing it to 'za' would allow the consonants to still get -y.
Why make these letters three syllables? What about .laza, .meza, .niza,
.qoza, .ruza? Heck, why not just .ly, .my, .ny, .qy, .ry?

Lojban does this without any separate set of words: .alfas. bu, bravos.
bu, carlis. bu, etc. 'bu' can attach to names.
