A hashing algorithm based on tagging a piece of knowledge with some descriptive “head” (key) which is then organised alphabetically, augmented by including the first vowel after the initial letter. The unaugmented alphabetical approach results in an unbalanced table (i.e. wasted paper), the use of the vowel helps distribute the heads more evenly. Also by a quirk of language also helps arrange concepts with similar etymological roots side by side.
