I have never criticized other languages before, but Stefan's intro to
LFN in Esperanto made me think:  I have often wondered why Esperantists
never did some of the obvious things to improve their language.  It
certainly wouldn't take much to make the -n optional, and just sitting
down for five minutes, I could come up with several other ways to write
it:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
c /ts/ c c c c c ts c c
c^ /tS/ ch cj ch ch tj tc c’ 
g /g/ g g g g g g g g
