morpheme assignment in nensendi

Rick,
I note that the color morphemes and the numeric morphemes in Nensendi are identical in most cases.  Why not make them identical in all cases?  Thus make _one_=blue (ca- vs. xa-).  And add a separate morpheme for "brown" (which is not really orange+black; rather it's yellow+black, but I doubt anyone ever thinks of it like that in ordinary usage), so that brown=seven (jobu- vs. ze-) and shift "pale" (ze- = seven) and "deep" (ci-) to eight (ti-) and nine (xo-).  Here is what I mean:

bu-  zero     black
ca-  one       blue (or 'xa-'; either one would work)
fe-  two      green
gi-   three    yellow
jo-  four      orange
lu-   five      red
ba-  six       white
ze-  seven    brown
ti-   eight     pale
xo-  nine     deep

This change would increase the consistency of the language.
