endipatterson | Z

I know you don't want radical changes at this stage, but I've noticed
that "z" hardly exists in the language so it might not be that radical
a step afterall. Can I suggest eliminating it at least as an initial
letter.

There appear to be just 10 words beginning with "z". I would suggest
the following:

zada - hoe
zebra - ?
zelo - ?
zelia - ?
zero - nil
zo - menajari
zona - sector
zuca - gourd
zuca - sucre
zumbir - ?
