You should consider also those letters which are look-
alikes in cursive like Latin lower-case m and Cyrillic lower-
case t. (I'm too lazy to bring up BabelPad. You know what
I mean! :-)

I've on occasion borrowed Armenian ben to simulate insular
f, and upper-case Reh as a capital for long s. Also upper-
case Co might be a choice if one wants to differentiate the
two styles of lower-case Latin G! :-)
