I have been planning kind of that, too. When I have done enough of Camzic
language, I'll make own alphabet for it. Camzic is a sad proof of that I,
too, got interested in the idea of having consonant stems and inflection by
vowel changes. Its structure makes (will make) it quite reasonable to write
vowels and consonants separately - first all consonants, then all vowels of
a word. - I haven't yet more than a very rough scetch of how the writing
system will work, but if it's not impossible, I will do it...

The funniest part starts when I get to write Mamqosian in Camzic letters and
develope it to an almost possible but very leaking ortography - for the
structure of Mamqosian makes this kind of script very *un*reasonable! Most
of its vowel combinations will be unexpressible in Camzic alphabet.
Poor Mamqosians just happened to learn the art of writing from the Camzic...

Kiäh. >:) Can't wait.
