Proquints are identifiers that are readable and pronounceable.
We propose encoding a 16-bit string as a proquint of alternating consonants and vowels as follows. Four-bits for consonants, and two-bits for vowels:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F | 0 1 2 3 b d f g h j k l m n p r s t v z | a i o u
Separate proquints using dashes, which can go un-pronounced or be pronounced "eh".
| 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | a | b | c | d | e | f |
| con | vow | con | vow | con | |||||||||||
Here are some IP dotted-quads and their corresponding proquints.

Uxntal Implementation
A minimal encoder implementation of proquints in 77 bytes of Uxntal:
@proquint ( short* -- ) ( c1 ) DUP2 #0c ,&emit-con JSR ( v1 ) DUP2 #0a ,&emit-vow JSR ( c2 ) DUP2 #06 ,&emit-con JSR ( v2 ) DUP2 #03 ,&emit-vow JSR ( c3 ) #00 ,&emit-con JSR #20 EMIT JMP2r &emit-con SFT2 #000f AND2 ;&con ADD2 LDA EMIT JMP2r &con "bdfghjklmnprstvz &emit-vow SFT2 #0003 AND2 ;&vow ADD2 LDA EMIT JMP2r &vow "aiou
The previous encoder can be transformed into the following proquints:
