Well, Silindion isn't really that incongruous, or rather, it's not purposely
designed to be. But, in its native alphabet, some weird things happen.

a word spelt <aui> in its Latin orthography and pronounced relatively
predictably enough as /'a:wi/ is written with the folling characters in the
following order: <AXOE> in Silindion's alphabet (of course, the actual symbols
are different..it looks vaguely like: <oyav> but, the values are AXOE)...and a
few words have silent letters and so on...it's all quite fun, too bad i dont
have a scanner...I'd add this to my webpage.
