^  Çç is used only for etymological c in foreign words, else Ss is used: sé see, mís mice.

^  Where /dʒ/ represents etymologic j a dotted ʒ̇ may be used.

^  NB eṡcý eschew. Christian may be spelled kristian or kriṡcan, perhaps kristjan.

^  Zz is used only in foreign words. Ƨƨ is used in both native and foreign words for etymologic s.

The sound /ʒ/ is spelled differently depending on etymology: Áƨja Asia, mèƨýr measure, azýr azure, Ƹƹ: garàƹ.

(Perhaps Zz should be used for all instances of /z/ and Ƹƹ for all instances of /ʒ/?)

The plural and possessive ending is always spelled 'ƨ (bœ'ƨ boy's, boys, boys'‌), and the past tense ending is always spelled 'd (kep'd, skor's, fád'd).

The Ʒ ʒ character

The preferred shape of the letter Ʒ ʒ is not like the IPA ezh, but like the Insular G, ᵹ (\u1D79), the capital version of which however is not adopted in Unicode yet. I use Ʒ ʒ (ezh) provisionally since the capital version of Insular G is not adopted in Unicode yet, and the small letter also is missing from most Unicode fonts. The preferred shape is shown in this image:

It should be noted that in NAS this letter denotes the phoneme /dʒ/ and not the phoneme /ʒ/ which is written as if it were /zj/ or with Ƹƹ.

The ʃ character

In place of SC sc one may use the ʃ character with its IPA value. Note that it should have a descender, unlike the Latin letter Long s ſ, in order to be maximally distinct from f. The preferred capital form is ɾ, like a J turned 180 degrees or an Armenian Ր, in order to distinguish it from the lower-case form, and from capital S. Since this capital form is unavailable in standard fonts the forms  (the Insular capital S) or Ʃ (the 'African' capital ʃ ) may be used, though care should be taken to distinguish  from /Ʒ.

Alternative graphies

Letters with acute diacritics may be replaced with digraphs as follows á > aa, é > ee, í > ij, ó > eo, ú > ou, ý > yy, œ > oe, ů > uo, å > oa.

Þ, þ may be replaced with Th th, SC sc may be replaced with Sh sh or Sj sj and Ʒ ʒ may be replaced with Cg cg or Gj gj.

Alternative vowel glyphs — NASS₂

Due to font problems the alternative vowel glyphs have to be shown as an image

My preference would be to use ɑ ɑ for trap and father but ordinary A, a for face (with ƐƖ, ɛɩ as cursive form). In the meantime ɑ ɑ A, a

as free variants for trap and father and ƐƖ, ɛɩ for face is preferable, since even unligatured ƐƖ ɛɩ is preferable to losing the distinction! Thus although I'd prefer

Fþr n̄ Pcul ʃud bɛtr z þ brɩᵹ ɩf þa wɔnt tu gɛt hom ɩn tim! — Jɛs amz!}}

I'll use

Faþr n̄ Pcul ʃud bɛtr z þ brɩʒ ɩf þɛɩ wɔnt tu gɛt hom ɩn tim! — Jɛs Ʒɛɩmz!

It's all a service to the Anglo terror diacriticorum: if nearly all other languages uses diacritics, then why not English?
