2005-Jan-12, Wednesday 19:09I'm putting this here before I forget.
I've been thinking today about making a syllabary for Nasqi, along the following lines:
16 basic symbols + 3 diacritics + punctuation (word separator, sentence terminator, perhaps notations for extra emphasis (on a particular word), whispering, shouting etc.)
The basic symbols would encode consonant + high/low vowel, the diacritics would be added for front vowel, back vowel, or special.
( table behind cut )
2005.Jan.16: I fixed the HTML -- LJ was adding closing tags, but in the wrong place. A trillion curses on the creators of XHTML for their cavalier attitude towards backwards compatibility.
