An Artificial Construction

[ReneZ]

By the way, in pinyin the "consonants" y and w are actually silent.  Logically, "yí" and "wú" should be written just "í" and "ú".  

Both can be heard. In fact, in a post from many years ago, I (tongue in cheek) suggested that the only difference between Voynich words starting with o vs. qo is that these represent the arbitrary choice between initial (Mandarin) "i" and "yi".
