Re: "two be"

I just use five pronouns because I have only the five
vowels, and diphthongs are disallowed.  Being a
logician by trade, I noticed that having five vowels
produced some interesting patterns that I've been
trying to take advantage of.

I have amended my pronouns somewhat, which I will put
into a coming post.
