NOTES:
NOTES:


1. The native alphabet is a borderline abugida ultimately derived from an ancient featural alphasyllabry.
1. The native alphabet is ultimately derived from an ancient featural abugida.
 
2. All consonant letters represent a CV syllable of that consonant plus /ä/.
 
3. Unusually for an abugida, hence the script's borderline status, all the vowels other than /ä/ are written with a full vowel letter rather than a vowel diacritic as is usually found in terrestrial alphasyllabries.
 
4. A following vowel letter neutralises the inherent /ä/ of the preceding consonant.
 
5. A following letter ⟨ı⟩ cancels out the inherent /ä/ of the preceding consonant thus producing a representation of a coda consonant.


6. The practical orthography was devised by one the first terrestrial linguists to reach Venus. The Wilkins Orthography has since become the default scheme of romanisation for Yakvalat.

7. The spelling of the practical and native orthographies are morphophonemic in that the spelling is phonemic but does change to reflect morphophonemic changes.
