====General Remarks On Orthography====

Common Minervan is written in a variant of the script commonly used in Xobde which was derived from an earlier featural abugida. Script direction is from right to left, top to bottom. The spelling of Common Minervan is phonemic although it does change to reflect the effects of morphophonology ~~and prosthesis~~.

Line 290:

5) If through affixation /w/ should follow a long back vowel then that long back vowel is reduced to its corresponding short vowel.

~~===Prosthesis===~~

~~1) This occurs between the end of a given word and the beginning of any following word in the same phrase.~~

~~2) If a word-final consonant precedes a word-initial consonant and would form a forbidden word-medial cluster then an prosthetic /i/ is prefixed before the word-initial consonant.~~

~~3) If a word-final vowel precedes a word-initial vowel then a prosthetic /n/ is prefixed before the word-initial vowel.~~
