Btw, how would things change if you went with SUR, HOR, DEL, GON, UM?

Very nice! :-)
I would have done whatever you wished, my dear Princess of
Heavenstein, only if it were in my power. In this specific case, I am
unable to fulfil your wish simply because the alveo-dental D in DEL
belongs to the secondary layer of consonants, obtained via velar to
dental changes.

Ah...o.k...I understand, your Excellency: Sur, Hor, Bel, Gon, Um...I'm sounding those out
and checking how my lips form as I'm saying these words...very primate-like. ;-).

The Del would in that case be that secondary layer. Using the tongue would require an evolutionary
advancement.

But, now I have to question the "Gon" sound...it's a back of the throat kinda thing.

Sur, Hor, Bel, Um require solely lip movement...primary stage.
Moving inward, the dental allows for making that Del sound...secondary stage.
And moving further in to create that back of the throat sounds (Gon), might that be considered the *third* stage?

I'm trying to establish a logic and a sensible move from the outer to the inner.

Try saying out the following and notice how one must use one lips, tongue, and back of the throat...moving from the outer to the inner.

Stage one: Pursed lip words: oo, Sur, Hor.
Stage two: Compressed lip words: mm, Bel, Um, bum, bam, bush.
Stage three: Dentals: Del, Da, Do, toe, though, la-la, low, loo..
Stage four: Back of the throat: Gon, goo, ga-ga, growl, crawl.

I come up with:
UR-UM-DA-GON

I would also like to know if you created a wep-page that explains your theory. I would very much like to read the details. If you haven't done so, perhaps you can explain it to me here. I've been trying to figure out just how exactly you came up with this theory, or if you had read it somewhere else and modified it in some way.

Thank you, my friend! ;-)

Take care,
Heidi
