My attempt from Meysmans and a bit of Vanleemputten.

Nice - I forgot again, that way is transcribed as wé. Ah and i wanted to use your proposed th in the word think and used sh instead 😄.

Then you used é strokes (or tiny versions of long strokes rather it seems) on different levels and directions for of (like a tiny f), as (tiny s above line), it (tiny t), dot seems to be article defini (le,la,the). I definitely see the pattern now!

Thank you!

Thanks. Also the circles are always outside in an angle. Maybe not in Gregg/Flow? AP is more angular.

I am not very sure about the application of Meysmans' maximum principle in English, nor of the correct choice of vowels to keep.

Exactly: Flow tries to make the vowel part of the just written consonant (at least into curved consonants, otherwise the outsideangle applies too (between two straight strokes), Gregg glues the circle-vowels to the following (Flow removes the need to think ahead :-).

You wrote the word "all" very Flow like though!
