Consonants



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.
