Repeated from twitter: Arguments against having the 7 basic numbers rhyme with each other? I.e. bahp dahp gahp kahp...
Which brings me to - does anyone know how alphabetical order in other alphabets is determined?

I mean: ichi, ni, san, shi, all sound somewhat similar; un, dau, tri, sound somewhat similar (bearing in mind that a Welsh u sounds exactly like its i). (Pedwar doesn't sound like anything else at all. Oh, Welsh.)
For Talani, I have: ma, me, mi, mo, mu, la, le, li, lo, sa. Possibly not very natural ;)
