Very good, very good. Combine what you have and answer some of the
other usual questions, and I think we'll have a pretty darned good faq.

I supposed I need to do a little more shaw reading, and
transliterating. Hey, I'm working on it!

I've also asked Scott to create a group on shavian.org (also by the

Hi Scott
You included mention of the Shaw Vowel Marker in your FAQS.
That doesn't exist in the original Shavian Alphabet.
It was an enhancement to allow accented variations of the same
word to be written in a Standard, albeit slightly generic form.
It handles things like the Aussie vowel shift, in much the same way
that the special Rhotic Letters in the Original Shaw Alphabet allow
a RP accented English and a Rhotic American English to be written
withmore or less with the same letters.
You should probably remove reference to it from your FAQS.
We don't want to confuse anyone.

Regards, Paul V.

Personally, as far as this community is concerned, I'd much rather upgrade
the Shavian forum software and move the discussion there... Email will never
be a good enough way to communicate in Shavian because most mailreaders just
can't display the fonts and/or Unicode properly.

Anyway, mustn't grumble...

The ShawAlphabet list has now got 6 members as I write this, let's hope that
figure continues to rise.

Hugh
