I assume by Stevo's laconic reply that he is describing _his_ system that he came up with about two years ago. In De Kolovrat's system of 1927 the missing consonant, as I have explained, is Q. In fact _ha, he, hi, ho, hu_ represent 25, 26, 27, 28, 29. I had forgotten that in April 2001 I posted De Kolovrat's full list of 100 syllables to this list. You can see the whole lot of them here: http://archives.conlang.info/wu/waershen/biarghiaphein.html -- Ray ================================== ray@carolandray.plus.com http://www.carolandray.plus.com ================================== TRADUTTORE TRADITORE
