Re: [saweli] CVC modifiers

Having, let's say, bar ber bir bor bur bal bel bil bol bul, you would
have exactly 10 element for a letter like in this case "b". It would be
easier to count then?


Yes, but they wouldn't be in alphabetical order.
The order would have to be:
bal bar = 0 1
bel ber = 2 3
bil bir = 4 5
bol bor = 6 7
bul bur = 8 9
cal car = 10 11
Hmm, that would make it obvious that CVl is even and CVr is odd, as well as making it a lot easier to expand beyond 100.

I like that.
