	I understand your logic, but in the example above, is it easy to
recognize the original word "yasashii" even if its word stem and
terminal are separated and with only the stem word translated into
English? Unlike adjecgives,it looks to be harder to intuitively separate
and rearrange stems and terminals of Japanese verbs, before and after
translating a word into the notation.

	Saying "retaining Kanji pronunciation too", if it retains the
pronunciation of word stems, I agree with your idea. It is similar to my
proposal to use romaji with English notes and punctuations.

	Ha! It is the most exciting finding that we have ever had in this
series of discussions on kanji on the internet.
	Unprecedent!
