Lachuju, a descendant of Uatakassi, uses a heavily modified version of
the Kassi syllabry, becoming a mixture of a syllabry, a syllabic
alphabet, and a true alphabet. There will also be ambiguities and
redundancies. It probably won't be *as* bad as English, but it will
pretty difficult.
Actually, there are three minor, and very rare, ambiguities in
Uatakassi. [tSiwi]-[tSwi], [dZiwi]-[dZwi], and [Ciwi]-[Cwi] are not
distinguished between. However, the second of each of those pairs is
extremely rare, so it creates very little problem.
