I have been playing around with a different alphabet order for lojban.
To check if a string begins with a ''cmevla'', extract as many ''cmevla-syllaboid''s as you can from the left (possibly none), then you must find a consonant or cluster (details of which clusters are allowed are still to be worked out) followed by a [[Morphology: special characters|pause]]. In that case, you have a ''cmevla'', otherwise the string does not begin with a ''cmevla''.  


So far I have though of something that orders the numbers in the correct order, as well as having a "lujvo" sort of sound to it.
A ''cmevla-syllaboid'' consists of an optional [[Morphology: syllables|coda]], any number of  [[Morphology: syllables|consonantal-syllable]]s (possibly none), an [[Morphology: syllables|onset]] and a [[Morphology: vowels|nucleus]]. It can also be a [[Morphology: vowels|digit]], which stands for the syllable corresponding to its name, as in '''la .2005nan. '''(''the year 2005''). The reason to include the coda and consonantal-syllables as part of the syllaboid is so that things like "ndoi" are admissible.

PA2 with the exception of rei and fai is doable. However the SE cmavo are a bit broken. (Split in to 2 parts.) ba ca pu seem to help "guide" your memory of the first 3 rasfi based, or the first 2 and the last gismu based.

To check if a string begins with a cmevla, extract as many cmevla-syllaboids as you can from the left (possibly none), then you must find a consonant or cluster (details of which clusters are allowed are still to be worked out) followed by a pause. In that case, you have a cmevla, otherwise the string does not begin with a cmevla.

A cmevla-syllaboid consists of an optional coda, any number of consonantal-syllables (possibly none), an onset and a nucleus. It can also be a digit, which stands for the syllable corresponding to its name, as in la .2005nan. (the year 2005). The reason to include the coda and consonantal-syllables as part of the syllaboid is so that things like "ndoi" are admissible.
