That is a really cool script. I like your idea about
the script reflecting waves of water.

I am looking forward to seeing the phonetic
equivalents and how you put the script together.

One question, do these elves HANDwrite the script?  If
they do, how do they keep each hump and valley looking
sufficiently different from the next without it all
running together?  Do they have some sort of set of
lines, like a music staff, on which to write the
script?  Or, I suppose, if these elves are so good at
studying the water ripples, maybe this skill is used
for reading and writing.

But what if someelf wants to write something in a
hurry?

Looking forward to seeing it.
