Re: Hairo Script Brainstorming

It's very attractive, Christian.  The Teonaht alphabet is totally
derivative, ripping off Cyrillic and Greek and reassigning the sounds to
them-- p and r in Teonaht are "rho" and "pi" in Greek--but I did this at a
very early age, and the alphabet has just, well, stuck.  :)  I say go with
what pleases you.
