An alphabet supplemented with abbreviations for some of the most common words/morphemes, which have evolved into logograms - as in my gjâ-zym-byn script: http://archives.conlang.info/qo/fheilpan/phighilquan.html This is not terribly dissimilar to the Japanese mixed writing system, except with a alphabetical rather than syllabary matrix and the embedded logograms are far fewer [so far] than the kanji. -- Jim Henry http://www.pobox.com/~jimhenry
