Letter order
First starts with the "flower" \ | /, which is /p ṗ b/ in the main dialect but /k ḳ ġ/ in some northern ones.
Consonant-syllable "impregnable" first table letter order is ʕ, l, g, x, ŋ, k, ḳ. This is the same as Andanese with /ʕ g ḳ/ replacing the three vowels. These correspond to Pabappa ∅, r, ∅, s, m, p, p. However, Pabappa reverses the order and so its alphabet begins instead with /p m s b/. (The confusion of /b/ with /r/ is due to Poswa influence.)
Source and structure
Unstr ă syllabary, str ă alph. alph counts tons as part of vowel, so needs 30 vowler signs (5 vowels, 6 tones if including both phars). 32 consos, though the ten syllabic consos get unique signs so the total numbtoer of sumbols for just consos & vowels is 72. Syllabary works by impregnating these sumbols with further markings that are taken from the Andanese *& Thaa syllabaries. Thus most conosnants isngs have holes (not the syllabics, not the "low" consonants either) into which vowel signs are written. /d/, /ġ/, and /ṭ/ are not in the standard script but can be derived from letters that are.
- IM not sure I like this, actually. It might seem ludicrious to do a syllabary for a lang with 32 consos, 5 vowels, 6 tones, and 20 final consos, but i think it can work because they will only encode three of the final consos: /l n s/. The rest are either syllabic consos or ones that were originally separate syllables. And these three only occur on three of the tones (others do occur but rael;y).so its really just 6 open-sulab tones and 9 closed-silab tones.
