	Classical Lethusian was written from right to left on rows scripta continua, that is, without space between words. If necessary, the word border mark was used. The writing system was a syllabary: one grapheme ~~corresponds~~ to a set of sounds (onset and rime) forming a syllable. ~~All syllables of~~ the ~~particular language required a consonantal onset (no word-initial vowels)~~.		Classical Lethusian was written from right to left on rows scripta continua, that is, without space between words. If necessary, the word border mark was used. The writing system was a syllabary: one grapheme corresponded to a set of sounds (onset and rime) forming a syllable. This feature was inherited by the daughter scripts.

	The chart on right shows old monumentals/runes (regional, 3000 BP), classical majuscules (standard, 2000 BP; not showing obsolete additions) and cursive handwriting (vernacular, 1000 BP) of Central Lethusian. Sounds correspond to the post-classical language after the Fall of Grehtkeepers after 6:138 (1410 BP). Modified versions of the script are still in use among Lethusian daughter languages and their neighbours, which will be demonstrated later.

Modified versions of the script are still in use among Lethusian daughter languages and their neighbours, which will be demonstrated later. Some graphemes lost their original context, ligatures evolved into new graphemes and some were lost completely.

	Fractional number symbols come last. Symbol for 'a is utilized as a decimal point if there is not a fraction small enough; larger number is borrowed from larger powers of ten respectively. Example: (4)(1/1000)z(1/10) ? (4/10)a(10000) [0.4001].		Fractional number symbols come last.

'''Language as Religion'''

Huge number of declensional cases which convey more information than verbs which remain rather unconjugated.

Also positionals and descriptive nouns instead of adjectives. (mixing mayan and yaguan)

In sacred language, every commendable leader should receive their own case symbolizing their deeds and derived from their name.
*Confirmed by a group of high religious leaders.
*Core cases (agent, object, subject, experiencers) are rarely altered, but exceptation occur:
**Åjar the Maker (/ae̯d͡zɑr/) was exalted into agentive to memorate her great building projects which she also participated as a builder during the years of peace.
**Objective was named in the memory of little Ongeta the Innocent, who was murdered after his first month of rule by fanatics.
**Example: ''Kefel'''ajr''' kure'''gta''' bilet sepa.'' /kefelɑzɻ̩ kʊreŋtɑ pʏlet sepɑ/ (soldier-agent.active rock-object.experiencer past-temporal.momentary throw > "The soldier threw a rock.")
*Too many cases so some fall out of use
