SSM isn't a big priority. This syllable structure is much like
that of Chinese or Japanese so I figure it's good enough even if
the segregation isn't 100% marked. Dropping the diphthongs or
some of the initials will only reduce the number of possible
syllables, something that's already much lower than I'd like.
Morphology really is a fairly low priority here. It's supposed
to be an experiment in oligosynthetic vocabulary, and predicate
logic.
