Having to go back to dot the 'i's is a defect as is the fact that the use of diacritics for phoneme distinction increases the likelihood of misspellings and/or misreadings. That aside. the various symbols are fairly distinct, though perhaps unduly complex. It is unclear whether in a running hand the difference between a loop and a point will be maintained -- the misreading problem again. But it does look nice -- in a Thai-Armenian sort of way. ----- Original Message ---- From: LakMeer Kravid To: lojban-list@lojban.org Sent: Saturday, April 5, 2008 7:01:04 PM Subject: [lojban] Original orthography draft now online for critique My first draft has been uploaded to http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Original%20lojban%20orthography Please comment and make suggestions, I'm open to drastic reformations.
