Syllabaries [was Re: t-shirt]

Eviendadil has a pseudo-syllabic alphabet.  Each syllable is one
character, but the characters are constructed out of symbols for
sounds.
 I have something like 700 possible syllables, each of which is made
of an optional intitial consonant, a vowel and an optional final
consonant.
