Hookscript - nullFoo
Hookscript
This is a writing system designed to be compact without being hard to read. The conosant letters are designed to be able to
'hook' into each other, hence the name, with space in between for vowels.
Like Kasherach, hookscript writes only the voiced conosants, with a line through the upper hook to indicate the unvoiced version.
These conosants are as follows:
As you can see, they are designed like two-sided hooks that can join together neatly and leave space in between.
<= The word "bad" in hookscript, demonstrating how letters can be joined together with vowels
The conosants that do not have a voiced/unvoiced version are styled differently, so they don't join together as well but still have space inside or between
for vowels.
Vowels are put in the gaps between conosants, and are read top-to-bottom. Here is the vowel list:
And here is an example of vowels and conosants together, saying "hello there mate":
There is one notable thing in the above image that I didn't mention before, and that is the dot. The dot here plays the role of a
spacebar in between words, which is also to add to compactness as it means you do not need to ensure a large enough space for readability.
You can also see from the above that even non-hook conosants can tuck into spaces of hooked letters.
