and an 'i' for 'y'.

# I'm not sure,
I haven't managed to pronounce them yet, and they don't occur in English.

# ah
How do I do vowel sounds with out a consonant then?
(I helped save b3ta! Letum Your Ad here £2.40, Sat 24 Oct 2009, 1:37, archived)
# take a syllable with that vowel in it,
and remove the consonant bits.

(I think)

# yes you do.
actually I was also toying with the idea of allowing syllables that have the vowel first, by mirroring the whole thing left to right.

# I'm not sure about that
it closes the gap for words with vowels, but it still leaves words with only vowels wanting.
i.e. "I" "ooo" "eei" "awwww/auuu" etc.

# they wouldn't be mutually exclusive.

# No, but it would add a extra layer of complexity.
I think there is an elegance in keeping it as simple as possible.

# So what are their characteristics?
I mean you must have had a reason for leaving a gap there, and putting some symbols in, unless they're just decoys. It's almost as if you're acting logically.

# Hullo, a new dot has appeared on one of them.
I saw this the other day:

Apparently those are all different ways of writing the same character in Chinese seal script. I find that quite upsetting.

# yeah I missed one.
and a voice stroke.

# Are the voiced and unvoiced ones particularly related to -e
and plosives related to -i, etc., or was that just a handy place to put the colour coding? "Unvoiced dental plosive" gives me the impression that the symbol gets colour-coded three times over.
