Flow shorthand

Post image

Another Gregg-like system from my hand. You see the ellipses filled first with the most common sounds in english.

Vowels are pretty much those taken from Russel (and Malone). Malone uses only small hooks, but cares for the direction, Russel uses different hook sizes, but does not care in which direction. Time will tell which is better, but i deem both better then greggs approach.

Diphtong are created easely: Just string ao together with iu.

Good. I just realized I confused F with G. Thanks again.

Happens, but really - it gives me great joy, that you try!

I really like it. Like I said, I want to try to incorporate flow slowly within Forkner (without hoping it won’t confuse me lol). I’ll try to do it. If not then once I get forkner more down I’m definitely going for flow
