I think it would work as an abugida for a language with a (C)V(V)(C) syllable structure Reading from left to right, the "upper case" letters represent (CXS) ka 4a ma ?a ta ga u va pa na ba sa i la h\a fa ya za da ha wa Ka i and u suppress the inherent a of the preceding consonant The "lower case" forms represent vowelless coda consonants. "Lower case" i and u do not suppress the preceding inherent a but form a diphthong. Pete
