https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abugida
"a segmental writing system in which consonant–vowel sequences are written as a unit; each unit is based on a consonant letter, and vowel notation is secondary."
I'm still not clear on the difference between an abugida and a syllabary or alphasyllabary. But no matter. I'm posting this mainly in case I forget the word, as I suspect I will.
It feels like a Spanish word to me... abogada/abogado, that's what it reminds me of. Lawyer.
And that sure is similar to avocado, now that I think of it.
