The rationale behind alphabetical order in Human:
• 1 vowel, 4 consonants, 1 vowel, 4 consonants...
• Impulse vowel (ɔ) at the beginning, culmination vowel (a) at the centre, cadence vowel (ɛ) at the end.

• Impulse nasal (m) at the beginning, culmination nasal (n) at the centre, cadence nasal (ŋ) at the end.
• Pure letter (h) at the centre.
• Elemental vowels follow the order of the Elements: Water (u), Air (e), Fire (i), Earth (o).
• Pure letter (h) at the centre.
• Elemental vowels follow the order of the Elements: Water (u), Air (e), Fire (i), Earth (o).
• Non-nasal sonorants near their elemental vowel: Water (ʋ), Air (l), Fire (j), Earth (r).
• Stop consonants near their elemental vowel and following the order of the Moments (impulse stop, culmination stop, cadence stop): Water (b, d, g), Air (v, ʃ, ȝ), Fire (f, s, ɯ), Earth (p, t, k).
• Affricates are at the centre, following the order of the Elements: Water (ᵹ), Air (ʒ), Fire (z), Earth (c).
Why is Human alphabet not randomly arranged, as any other?
Because it would not be Human: Humans reject anything that is not beautiful and logical, anything arbitrary that has to be accepted as it is. A random alphabetical order would be perceived as a foreign imposition.
