NOTES: | |||
1. The native script was ultimately derived from an ancient featural abugida | |||
2. The spelling of both the native alphabet and the practical orthography is morphophonemic in that the spelling is phonemic but does change to reflect morphophonemic changes. | |||
3. The following punctuation marks are in use: | |||
⟨.⟩ = short pause, equivalent to a comma or semi-colon. | |||
⟨:⟩ = long pause, equivalent to a colon or full stop. | |||
Punctuation marks occur immediately after the last word of a clause and never occur consecutively. | |||
4. Any given word is separated from any following word by a space. There are no equivalents to parentheses, quotation marks, exclamation marks or questions marks. | |||
