Googi /gʌːgi/ adj. tired; bored

Just started hacking away at creating the conscript for A’oonirobi. It's a moraic syllabary (probably?) with a planned 363 total glyphs:

  • 312 Consonant-Vowel pairs,
  • 30 plain consonants,
  • 16 numerals,
  • 2 nasal diacritics,
  • 2 reversal characters,
  • and 1 space.

Most graphemes have three versions (more technically, they have three allographs) those being: initial, medial, and final depending on where in the word it appears à la Arabic.

It's read vertically top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Traditionally it was inked with the fingers on large thick leaves with peculiar parallel venation, hence the two lines on either side. While it is still often written on these leaves, it has also has transitioned to papyrus.

It's gonna be real fun to turn into an actual font, assuming I can get the whole

vertical thing

to work at all
