Preview for the new Raitolïihaste (haven't done the whole thing yet):
It says 'Raitoliste'.
I'll be gone all day Saturday, so the whole thing probably won't be up 'till Monday or so. |

| I made a mistake - the earlier sample actually says Raitolïa. Oops! |

Yay! It's UP! (Sorry for the massive image, I can post a smaller one if you want.)
Direction: Top-to-bottom/Left-to-Right, with boustrophedon in individual vowel-consonant pairs. Pairs are vowel-consonant in order.
To write diphthongs, put the vowel that doesn't take mora as a smaller version either before (if it comes before) or after (if it comes after).
[a] is rarely used as its presence is inferred from a lack of any vowel (the script is in essence an abugida).
And yes, I realize I forgot a rounding diacritic.
The letter forms may change, as only [k] and [h] got close to what I was going for ([h] only really). |

I'd like a smaller one.

I know what "boustrephedon" means in general; but what does it mean, exactly, in "in individual vowel-consonant pairs"?

I like this organization; I like the founding ideas of this script. Thanks.

Why are you in shock?! That is one of the most beautiful conscripts in existence. I'm dead serious!

Well, that was the intent. I just didn't realize I'd done it so well!
Sample coming soon (prob'ly tomorrow). |

Thanks. Both of those are easier to read. (Still nice-looking, too!)

No, I still don't get it. That's boustrophedon in general; can you illustrate how you can have "boustrophedon in individual vowel-consonant pairs"? And how that's different from just plain "boustrophedon"?
BTW can we assume that the glyphs that are easier/faster to write are also the more commonly written? and the more difficult/slower-to-write ones are the rarer? Because some of them do look like they'd take a lot of time and/or effort to write; try writing a longish text or several not-too-short ones rapidly and see what I mean. |
