if alphabetical order of numbers matched numerical order

0 no => b- (e.g. bau)

1 pa => ca

2 re => de

3 ci => fi

4 vo => go

5 mu => ju

6 xa => ka

7 ze => le

8 bi => mi

9 so => no

10 dau => pu

11 fei => ra

12 gai => se

13 jau => ti

14 rei => vo

15 vai => zu

Notes:

1. /x/ is not used in this series because an offical alternative orthography represents it as <h>.

2. The only 5-member CV cmavo series is the FA series, and this could have been changed thus:

fa/fe/fi/fo/fu => xa/xe/xi/xo/xu

---

Of course, one needs to take into consideration the fact that this would destroy a number of other alphabetic series.

---

But all destroyed series would have workarounds, e.g. by changing the intitial C. It goes without saying that the above scheme would have caused wholesale reshuffling of the cmavo form--function assignments.

---

tinkit hmm, i like it. more because the hexadecimal cmavo don't look different than the others.
