Okay, I think I've got it. What I've been calling consonants will be cwaba (leaders) and non-consonants will be called faloba (followers). They are therefore divorced from any relation to phonetic classification. So: kul ceqli vor dwa beza slihan cwaba hu befalo slihan faloba. All Ceqli words must be started by at least one leader followed by at least one follower. Interesting that the Ceqli is considerably shorter than the English in this instance. BTW, is "at least one" in this context logically equivalent to "one or more"? I think it must be, but I'm not sure. -- Rex F.
