exclusion of approximants

I agree with Chollie:  approximants are seemingly nothing more than a
hindrance when it comes to deciding whether or not to make them vowels,
semi-vowels or consonants.  Though they exist in Kartesian, I had thought
a couple of times to exclude them.  Future languages by me will most
likely not include R and L.
