classifiers for anaphora

I've decided to use the bare vowels as classifiers for anaphora.  The particular vowel chosen will be the (first) vowel of the noun's classifier.  E.g., the word "rebosi" ('children') has a corresponding anaphor of "ebos", where the "e" is from "re", the "bo" is the modifier, and the final "s" is the noun part-of-speech marker.
All five vowel anaphor classifiers correspond to Latejami "h".

I didn't bathe the children because they were able to bathe themselves.
