possible regional variations: N can stand for N and M , P represents P and B, Q
represents Q, G and K, S represents S, C and Z, T stands for T and D, V for V,
F and W. X can be spoken like SH, CH etc..

e) Nouns end always on: A in singular, plural on I

their, U = they. When you use he/ she/ it you leave out the pronoun and take
just the verb.
