Used to write Sohlob, Kidilib and Linjeb.

- The diacritical marks -- the superscript dot for changing pronunciation and the underscore to indicate digraphs -- were usually only used to resolve perceived risk of incorrect reading. In practice Sohlob writing was often ambiguous, since a scribes perception of risk of incorrect reading may differ from his readers'.
- The digraphs using y to indicate c, ç, j were normal in Kidilib writing, while the alternative graphies were usual in Sohlob and Heleb. Linjeb did not have these sounds.
- Kidilib did not distinguish æ and e, but used the unadorned letter for /ɛ/.
- The signs for voiceless stops using a superimposed h were the usual ones in Linjeb. In the other dialects voiceless and voiced stops were not usually distinguished in writing.
- The form for s looking like hh was in fact the usual one.
- Lindjeb used a further digraph 'ui to write /y/.
The phrase serq sohlob at the bottom of the image is misspelled. I'm going to fix that eventually!
