. Rokbeigalmki has a few different scripts...4 native ones and three natscript orthographies. I can write pretty fast in all of them except for the arabesque cursive form of the native script, because it takes time to remember how to connect the letters, and the pre-rokbeigalmki form of the native script, which is full of circles and straight angles. The problem though is keeping them separate....one text can have all native styles mixed together. The natscript transliterations are easier and quicker to read, though. -Stephen (Steg) "...all i really gotta do is live an' die / i'm in a hurry and don't know why..."
