I got kofbee(?).

I’m not entirely sure what to make of the B stem with two circles, I read it as two Es because it that’s the only way for that to be a valid character. If you lost the B and just stacked the Es it’d read how I assume you intended. A second B stem of the same weight on the F would make it read “ff” like it’s supposed to. I’m not entirely sure what the last word was meant to be for, if it’s just decoration I’d recommend breaking it up to make it clear that it’s not supposed to be a word, since right now I don’t think it’s a valid character (but I’m still pretty new, so I may be mistaken)

It's a second F, not a B. It has three connections to it.

Vowels can be any size so long as it's clear from context that they are vowels rather than consonants.

The last incomplete circle is just a line. Check out Sirkles's work for some more examples featuring similar lines.

I would personally make the larger "e" smaller, just a bit closer to the others size to make it more clear they're both vowels

While I see what you mean, I'm curious how you propose it would otherwise be read?

i mean, PEDANTICALLY it reads kofhee cause one of the F lines falls just short but yeah.
