It'd certainly make teaching people to play musical instruments much easier,
and instructions could be quicker:
{meSchuS'e' qungvam SIqnISlu' 'ej qungvetlh qewnISlu'}
"As for the {meSchuS}, one must finger this hole with the index finger, and
that hole with the third finger."
{qew! SIq! qanHa'! qanHa' jay'!}
"Put on the third finger! Put on the first finger! Take off the pinkie! Take
off the pinkie, dammit!"
