This is mainly for Zompist, but if anyone else can help I won't ignore you
When will the orthography be finished?
And a question about the "assignment anaphora": when writing general inscriptions with only one vowel variable, for example a plaque below a statue to a great leader, is there any particular variable that is preferred or standard? Or is it "anything goes," with no formal first choice?

I don't know. I've tried to create letterforms several times, but haven't come up with something I like. The short, stumpy elcarin Muse hasn't seen fit to speak.

There's no preferred order. Statistically, there'd probably be a preference for the low vowels (-?t, ?at, ??t, -?t) which contrast more with -?t (the 'reflexive' anaphor).

That's a wonderful image--the short, stumpy elcari Muse, draped in a toga, harp or pen and scroll (or, more likely, hammer and chisel) in hand...

Okay, thanks
