Sure, go right on ahead and borrow that idea :). I thought that idea up
because i didn't like how things looked when there was simply a consonant,
or vowel. And since the vowels would float mid air when alone, they needed
"legs". This one was mostly about the idea and the aesthetics than
anything else.

Thanks! Though the symbols of similar sounds look generally the same,
there's randomness to how I picked how the actual shapes would be. I dont
like to plan down to the detail how these things should look (for this,
such would be too ordered).
