In L there is no connection between the shape of classifiers and their meaning. In S, not only are the classifiers ordered alphabetically according to a grand scheme, but there are two new patterns.
1) opposite/antonyms add "'a" to the basic positive classifier: vu/vu'a
2) the miscellaneous categories tend to end in "u" or "'u": ce/ce'u.
