I made consistently my vocabulary on a CVC stem (now I've given up) :

C1 = *substance* with all other phenomena it suggests to me (for instance fabric = logics) :
/l/: water, fluid
/n/ : thread, fabric
/t/ : plant stem, stick, herb
/m/ : earth, flesh, skin
/p/ : wood
/k/ : stone, earthenware, metal
/s/ : thought
/F/ (bilabial) : air, fire, gas

V = colours = *temper* of the item
C2 = *work* or function of item; depends on its first CV.
