About 'W'; is the script constructed or an existing natural script? I'm
guessing a constructed script, so this would be 'Wcs'. You also have
'Sbso.'; does this mean that there are no verbs, but that whatever
takes their place is final in the clause?

The script is constructed (not even finished!).
Sbso. meant that subject always precedes object, the place of the verb
is not restricted to one place. At one time, I even thought of a system
where the place of the verb indicated the tense (VSO=futue, SOV=past
etc.)
