Re: Anth Assignment Conorthography

Could you share the exact wording of this assignment with the list?   This
assignment sounds like fun.

Guess what?

Even though i dropped my Sociolinguistics class, amazingly out of nowhere
i have an assignment for my Anthropology course in archeology of making
my own Chinese/Cuneiform/Hieroglyphics/Mayan "word signs" type of writing
system, making up signs for a list of words that they gave us and enough
other words in order to write a short paragraph in the system.  And we
have to make up a number system.

So, of course, i'm basing mine on Rokbeigalmki....conculturally, it'll be
some kind of journal entry written by Stíígiyus Nededh-Yagh to practice
the word-sign orthography which was the first Rokbeigalmki script, but
only lasted a few weeks until the people who were developing it decided
that alphabetics would fit their language much better (and let them write
names).
