[lojban] Re: Orthography

[Christopher Zervic <lojban-out@lojban.org>]

There already exists a standard notation for the segments of the
seven-segment display (7SD), (which is really what we are talking
about, not necessarily LED, LCD or even anything illuminated or
electronic):

A (top)
B (upper right)
C (lower right)
D (bottom)
E (lower left)
F (upper left)
G (middle)
and the '8th segment' = DP (decimal point)

1 = BC
2 = ABDEG
3 = ABCDG
4 = BCFG
5 = ACDFG
6 = ACDEFG
7 = ABC
8 = ABCDEFG
9 = ABCDFG
0 = ABCDEF

So far I like what I read in this thread, although it remains yet to
see whether it proves to be practical, since Lojban already has
perfect orthographic mapping. Nevertheless the suggested alphabet
could draw inspiration from the Shaw Alphabet (q.v.), and be practical
for English as well.
