Okay.

Combined with another morpheme, these could be hard to pronounce.

I see what you mean. Probably I won't find a good reversible word. There is maybe "kaw" to cause, with the newly-released "kwa", which could mean "become", if they're more easily pronounced.

dormkwa - go to sleep

dormkaw - put to sleep

Ideally, tho, with a morph that's going to be suffixed a lot, it should begin with a sound that will interfere the least with lrnmq, which it would abut a lot. That would be sxz — so, saw/swa, zaw/zwa (xaw is taken).
