Well, some people hate the sound of Korean. :-p The Chevraqis character
system is written vertically, but its consonant-forms crib off Korean's,
because in its conculture the Chevraqen alphabet was devised by a
magistrate-scholar-linguist-wannabe (as opposed to
king-scholar-linguist). I figured Korean's so obscure anyway, it doesn't
hurt anything, and it might amuse other Koreans.
