Me, I have the same problem for Ramyo, in that there are so many consonants, and
in writing they stack, hmthus:


            \/  /---\  \/
            /\  |   |  /\
            \/  |   |  \/
            /\  \---/  /\

(where the X's represent consonants, and the square represents a vowel..."actual
characters not depicted")

the letters also have "tall" forms, where there's only one consonant going:

           \ /  /---\
            |   |   |
            |   |   |
           / \  \---/

Plus some are extra-tall, and some are drawn above or below the vowel... you
could end up with

                   ,-
         ------    |
           || \/ /---\
           || /\ |   |
           || \/ |   |
           || /\ \---/
         ------

or worse...

    *Muke!
