    Sounds like a classificational _a priori_ scheme. Problem with these
kinds of lingos is that tho' simple, logical, & whatnot at the beginin's,
these type of AuxLang/ConLangs become overwhelmin'ly complicated, arbitrary,
& a real brain overload... also rigid classification systems tend to be
resistant to incorporatin' new paradigms of thought & new facts/information.
