Those of you who aren't interested in pursuing this line of
investigation will be sick of hearing my bleating voice by now, and
for that I apologise. Others, however, may be interested to hear I've
been working hard since srilermorna, and I think I'm on to somthing.

Although srilermorna was kind of successful in terms of the goals I
set for it - mainly prettiness - someone valuably pointed out that it
really offered nothing above what latin does in terms of suitability
for writing Lojban - essentially, it is a character map onto latin.

I set about creating a system for which the goal was lojbanicness - it
must offer features which correspond to the morphology and philosophy
of lojban, while remaining legible and versatile.

I've ended up with a vowel-diacritic system with a strong resemblance
to the proposals to use Tengwar, but with a few key differences which
allow some optimisation, better readibility and (hopefully) some
uniquely lojban feel.

Criticism is welcome and depended upon - either on this list, at the
tiki page for the current revision, or at the thread in the Ideas
board on jbotcan. All suggestions will be documented at any or all of
these places.

There is no name yet. Suggestions welcome.

last example. Cant be bothered changing it.
