Because the transliteration is a one-to-one correspondence with the actual 
script (not including the ligatures). So it already gives some good idea of 
how it looks like (if you want a better idea, picture one of those Irish 
Uncial styles, the ones which add a dot on mutated consonants instead of an 
h afterwards, only with many ligatures and an Arabic-style distinction 
between unconnected and connected letters - but no difference between 
initial middle and final forms for the letters. The Maggel script is 
difficult enough as it is :))) ).

Not yet :((( . But when the Maggel font is finished, I'll post about it :))) .

You need a straight mind to invent a twisted conlang.
