This is all very interesting, and raises some questions...
What environment(s) or phenomen(on/a) cause lenition?
What causes umlaut?
Would you recommend a particular place to learn the abjad?  I made some
attempt to long ago, but apparently I didn't learn all of it; you seem to
have a great deal of letters whose names I don't recognize.

 (I'm a big fan of scripts, con- and nat-, and con-usages of natscripts.
I'm of the school of thought that orthogrphy is as integral to the spirit of
an artlang as is phonology, in transcription to Latin and native, whatever
native may be.)
