well , the only idea i had was writing important vowels as
a , e , i , o or u , but it is no real solution or perfect
solution .
but i guess this is only a problem with words borrowed from
english which consist of a syllabel only .
would be interesting to know for how much words this would be
a problem .
could you list some troublesome minimal pairs ?
