It is so much fun to have an on-line dictionary! In some circumstances,
it is difficult to put the supersigns over a character ("^" and the breve).
This caused me to wonder which roots might get confused if no one ever
used the supersigns. After a few sed's and sorts, here is the result.
Of course, an analysis using a larger dictionary would produce a larger
list, but most words which are not in my dictionary are relatively rare.
Some amusing collisions: car vs ^car (is a car really king?).
Mi ne povas legi le^gojn (I can't read laws). Prentiss ser^cis ^sercoj.
ag gust leg pag post sak sel stel
car jug log pas pus sal si tus
ci jur mars past ranc sang spin vers
gem kas mas pist reg sat stal vest
general kruc mus plac sag seg stat

p.s. The only words I've found in which 'a' is followed by 'u' (rather than '^u")
are "kakaujo" (cocoa container) and "kakaur^go" (urge for cocoa....)
