Re: Tone Marks

Yeah, I thought about using those marks, but I am
already using them to represent some of my 11, and
rising, vowels, and with 10 unique tones, which I am
now calling motives, I run out of marks.
I feel that ultimatly I need to resort to numbers.  In
HTML, it is not that bad since I can use the <sup> tag
to make the number superscript and more discreate.
Where it really becomes a mess is in ascii.
