Enamyn doesn't have much in the way of punctuation marks. What it does have
seems to have been influenced by Greek--while the punctuation doesn't
resemble Byzantine Greek's, the same thought process (i.e., make it easier to
read aloud) appears to be involved. Thus, it has punctuation for a full stop
(period), a partial stop (colon or semicolon), and a short stop (comma). The
full stop is represented by two vertical lines, each of which has a short
bent portion leaning to the left at the top. The partial stop is pretty much
like an em dash (--) while the short stop is like a colon on its side (. .).
