Scadrian Truthwatcher Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 I really like making Alethi Glyphs from an English word. It’s very calming. But occasionally, I try to make a glyph containing one or more of the letters C, Q, W or X. They don’t have phonemes. What should I do in this situation. Obviously the Alethi don’t use those letters, but what should I do if I want to? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eri Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 If I were in this position, I'd just make up the glyphs for those letters, inspired by the canon glyphs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 You can always use the glyphs corresponding to the closest approximate phonetic sounds. C is either K or S, X is Z or eks, Q is K, ku or Kyu, admittedly W is a different sound from U or V, but you could still use UU or VV, just like how in English we sometimes use double letters to represent a single sound (like Sh or Ph, though admittedly those are just aspirated) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scadrian Truthwatcher Posted January 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just been studying the Alethi Women’s Script and saw that W comes under U and C comes under K or S depending on the circumstance. I guess X would be KS and Q would be KW (KU) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
