Before Betascript (and before I had ever read Tolkien), there was
an Alphascript which was in fact, Burmese influenced if not inspired.
Betascript reflects that rather than Tolkien although there is no
denying on my part that Himself could seem to be the inspiration.  I was
unpleasantly surprised to see the similarities between his elvish
scripts and my Alphascript.
