These “faces” (called ''Contionary:gawbren|gawbren'') may be used in various props, illustrations, or even mimicked by actors to tell a “story within a story.” The angle of the head may also be manipulated to create dual meanings. On the left are two examples of a clue which could mean “Gate of Faces” (''[[Contionary:gedreen|gedreen]] [[Contionary:e|e]] [[Contionary:doon|doon]]'') or “Gate of Dreams” (''[[Contionary:gedreen|gedreen]] [[Contionary:e|e]] [[Contionary:wis|wis]]'').

Brooding is written primarily as an abjad, omitting the vowels in most cases. The only time that the vowels are required is when they appear at the beginnings of a word.

The solitary blind faces for ''[[Contionary:aeram|aeram]]'', ''[[Contionary:zraeram|zraeram]]'', ''[[Contionary:auplen|auplen]]'' and ''[[Contionary:zrauplen|zrauplen]]'' can be combined with the above verb modifiers into paired characters to indicate the appropriate conjugation of the verb. Note that in this pairing, the affirmative/negative feature of the verb modifier is ignored; rather the inherent one in the verb is used instead.

===The Alphabet===


The Brooding Alphabet (which is called ''[[Contionary:gawbre|gawbre]]'', the collective of ''[[Contionary:gawbren|gawbren]]'' ‘letter’, so ‘group or series of letters’) consists of fifty seeing characters and fifteen blind characters for a total of sixty-five ''[[Contionary:gawbrene|gawbrene]]'' (‘letters’) in all.  The seeing characters, as discussed above, all represent phonemic sounds in Brooding, with the exception of ''[[Contionary:stoot|Stoot]]'', which indicates that a blind character will follow.
