    On my Gladilatian webpages whenever I alphabetize something I use the
English alphabetization of the Roman transliteration of the word.  Gladi-
fers, however, use a more complicated scheme.  To oversimplify a bit, =
words
are sorted by syllable and syllables are sorted first by vowel, then by
consonants preceeding the vowel, and then by consonants following the =
vowel.
