Almost the same to me a = me, e = you, i = he/she o = it, u = oneself
and each vowel has a colour so I can see with my eyes syllables in color : a =
red, i = yellow, o = orange, e = white, French u = green, u = dark blue, French
eu = light blue to light grey depending on consonnant.
Also each vowel has a 'verbal' function : a = to subject to one's organs or senses,
e = to be subject to, i = to work as, to be; o = to use the function of an
instrument, u = to produce with one's body or mind, etc. everything since my
first conwork so my conwords were never nouns, adjectives or verbs but rather
nouns of things, of agents, of results and some of state and action. Very
handy.
