Also, what are the "alt vowels"?
They are for when you need to write vowels on their own.
To simplify I would say that a symbol of the wovel grid is identified either by being within a consonant or by being dotted.

No, no, the "alt. vowels" is the alternate grid for vowels someone suggested in the discussion for the script. Lindar's vowel grid had a, e, i, o, u, in the first five grid spaces, starting from the bottom left and going up, then right, and the four diphthongs filled in the remaining four grids.
The alt. vowel grid has the vowels in the four corners and the middle, with each of the diphthongs being equal to the mesh of it's two vowels, with the unfortunate exception of {ei}. (ex.: {a} "┌" + {u} "┐" = {au} "┌┐")
Vowels by themselves are written above a ".", "|", or "^" symbol, as in the example text.
The two grids are /not/ interchangeable. I included the alt. grid because I like it better - the other is Lindar's "official" one.
