Excellent! That's more or less the level of "logograph sprinkling" I
had in mind. Thanks. :) Omniglot's page on "Shorthand" has some useful
info.

Indeed. I'm planning on having "special" forms for the verb suffixes
marking first and second person*, some other common productive
affixes, and very common words like "and" and "the".
I'll look into the various shorthands' lists of abbreviations for
common words, to see what other systems have found useful to
abbreviate. Thanks again for pointing me in a useful direction.
