the first goal was to fill up the board of conjugaison aspect-tense (that I
sent some hour earlier) with a different plosive, fricative, or affricate
for each

16 aspects x 3 tenses = 48

the logic was that I wanted the group 1: all the past consonants, being
billabial or labiodental, 2: all the present ones being alveolar or
postalveolar (and 2 labio-dental plosives), and 3: all the futur ones being
Velar or uvular

And each aspect had it's own logic to get its three counsonants also but 16
aspect it would be long, maybe that if you look at the board I sent you will
see the logic

I add glottals to mark nominative, accusative and genitive

the nasals, it is because I want them to represent the 6 moods so I needed 6
of them

I add 3 trills, one in each group. in the case I would need them

the 3 approximants are to distinc suffixes from roots by preciding each with
one of my three approximants

for the vowels, I don't know if I have a logic it is again to fill the
boards of conjugaison
