perplexus.info :: Cryptography : Bugs and Cubs

Bugs and Cubs (Posted on 2007-05-29)

Twenty creatures have been encoded according to the following rules.

u = a e i o u
b = b d f h k l t
c = c m n r s v w x z
g = g j p q y,

So, for example cucub would represent camel and buuc would represent lion.

Can you solve these? (If you find more than one answer, please let me know!)
