Vowels

Vowels are used to create the syllables. They act as adjectives showing gender and size or importance. They have no meaning by themselves and cannot be used alone (except e,a,i as numbers). Rarely multiple vowels are used for clarification.

e - neuter, not shown in writing, when no vowel is shown an "e" is assumed, pronounced "eh" as in "heh"; {0=0}

a- a - feminine, a circle placed before consonant at top, pronounced "ah" as in "father" (or as the "a" in "cat" to refer to a living leader of the Ze); {1=1}

i- i - feminine dimunitive (little), a small dot placed before consonant at bottom, pronounced "ee"

o- o - masculine, a flower placed after consonant at top, pronounced "oh"

u- u - maculine dimunitive, a small flower placed after consonant at bottom, pronounced "oo"
