The version in TKD is ordered by number, then by person (jIH SoH ghaH/'oH,
maH tlhIH chaH/bIH). Numbering first by person, then by number (jIH maH, SoH
tlhIH, ghaH/'oH chaH/bIH) brings similar prefixes together, and also
highlights where they differ, as ghunchu'wI' mentioned. The person-number
ordering is what maHvatlh uses in his {tlhIngan Hol mu'ghom mach}.
