Well, i have considered changing it from a tilde ~ to a smitchik
(circumflex?) ^ for vowels.  Although, lately when i've been writing in
Rokbeigalmki i've begun to write non-Rokb. words in a different (but
related) script, which could be another hint that it's a non-native word
and to 'ignore' what the tilde is telling you.
