It's too self-similar; a tiny slip of the pen and you can't tell if a character is a p, c, r or what. Which would be fine if it was only a few characters, but *every* tengwar in the base set has at least one or two other characters it is almost identical to. -Robin -- Lojban Reason #17: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_buffalo Proud Supporter of the Singularity Institute - http://singinst.org/ http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/
