Re: Onset/Rhyme Scripts

My Tvern El used a modified onset/rhyme script, which
was supremely practical for that language.  It had
symbols for each of the possible consonant onsets,
each of the possible vowels and each of the possible
codas.  Each word was one to three characters long,
but could require as many as 5 Latin script
characters.
