Summary An analysis is made of the use of i, j, u , and v respectively as vowels, semivowels and fricative consonants. It is concluded that there are three problems: first, the present paragraph 5 of Article 73 is not being applied and its deletion is proposed; second, the only major problem is the early use of v as a pure vowel and a proposal to correct this is made; third, there is no provision in the Code for choosing between alternative orthographies in an original publication and a proposal is made covering this with reference to the letters i vs. j and u vs. v .
