A "**banana**" word is formed by an arbitrary number of modules [consonant + vowel].  
E.g. *positive*, *favorite*, *generate*, *manage*.  

A "**banana**" could be a non-existent word also. It has the feature of being easily pronounced and remembered.  
E.g. *fitope*, *vetoluzo*, *catipule*, *miteropa*.  


A "**banana**" word can be generated randomly, or encoded starting from a number like a standard base encoding.  

The **BaseBanana** library provides functions to encode numbers into "**banana**" words, decode a "**banana**" word to number, or generate random "**banana**" words.

Abstracting the **BaseBanana**, it's a base encoding that uses a list of alphabets instead of a single one.  
The standard alphabet is "*bcdfglmnprstvz, aeiou*" (only italian alphabet letters, excluding *q* and *h* that have special grammar rules) but can be easily customized.
