Each letter is given in the usual order, with the corresponding lerfu underneath. In addition, the alphabet-shift letteral that establishes that alphabet is given in parentheses after the English name. Except for these shifts and the letterals used by Lojban itself (the Latin alphabet excluding h, q, w), these tables are proposals only. Latin alphabet (lo'a): a b c d e f g h .abu by cy dy .ebu fy gy y'ybu i j k l m n o p .ibu jy ky ly my ny .obu py q r s t u v w x kybu ry sy ty .ubu vy vybu xy y z .ybu zy Greek alphabet (ge'o): alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta .abu by gy dy .ebu zy etas.bu tybu iota kappa lambda mu nu xi omicron pi .ibu ky ly my ny kybu .obu py rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psi omega ry sy ty .ubu fy xy pybu omegas.bu Russian alphabet (ru'o): a b v g d ye yo z .abu by vy gy dy .iebu .iobu zy zh i short i k l m n o jy .ibu tordubu ky ly my ny .obu p r s t u kh f ts py ry sy ty .ubu xy fy sybu ch sh shch e hard yeri soft ya cybu cy cybubu .ebu jdaribu .ybu rantibu .iabu yo .iobu Hebrew alphabet (je'o): aleph bet gimel daled he vav zayin khet alef.bu by gy dy y'y vy zy xy tet yud kaf lamed mem nun samekh ayin ty iy.bu ky ly my ny sy .ayin.bu pe tzadi quf resh shin tof (dagesh) py sybu kybu ry cy tybu (dagec.bu) All this is my own invention, and needs to be checked by people with the appropriate alphabetical intuitions. Hebrew vowel points need to be added. We also need Arabic (which has the shift letteral "jo'o"), and it would be most useful to have Devanagari and Japanese kana as well. Volunteers are solicited. -- cowan@snark.thyrsus.com ...!uunet!cbmvax!snark!cowan e'osai ko sarji la lojban
