Split digraphs : a_e, e_e, i_e, o_e, u_e.

Why split?  Why not put them together?

Why not ae, ee, ie, oe, ue?  They wood merge with "polite vowels".

(However, "nice" cannot be "niec".  Wood be "nyce".)

Avoid "split digraphs". (Derivatives are affected.)

◎a-e⇒ae (make→maek)

◎e-e⇒ee (extreme→extreem)

◎i-e⇒-y-e (nice→nyce)

◎o-e⇒oe (home→hoem)

◎u-e⇒ue (cute→cuet)

Retain the dubbled consonant letters in words when followed by endings such as -e, -ed, -en, -er, -est, -et, -ing, -a, -o, -y. For example: steppe, missed, sudden, supper, biggest, bonnet, cutting, gonna, hippo, happy, etc. 

Retain the dubbled consonant letters at word end. For example: add, butt, err, inn, jazz, miss, off, purr, sell, etc.
