Jarrda has a little squiggle that's used to mark foreign words and names;
in the romanized spelling I use capital letters (the word for "dollar", =
for
instance, is "Daleor").

I haven't had much need for borrowings in other languages. Tirelat will
probably use italics for foreign words and capital letters for names. The
letters b, w, and y only occur in foreign borrowings (I recently merged =
"w"
with "u" and "y" with "i").
