Don't see what's odd about it; interesting to see the Dutchman phonological
usage of Latin script "imposed" on a vowel-stripped rendering of the Jargon
lexicon.  Kind of along the lines of the "standard" common-spelling I was
describing long ago, once upon a time; like Hebrew, Yiddish and Arabic
dispensing with unnecessary vowels and just coming up with a "code" for the
known words of the tongue; like Duployan but without any specific proscribed
phonology.  Actually, I found this a bit easier to read than the Grand Ronde
IPA in use within the list....
