===The Alphabet===


The Brooding Alphabet itself consists of 50 seeing characters and 15 blind characters for a total of 65 characters in all.  The seeing characters, as discussed above, all represent phonemic sounds in Brooding, with the exception of ''stoot'', which indicates that a blind character will follow. The first sixteen seeing characters are synonymous with and in the order of the first 16 numbers.  
The Brooding Alphabet itself consists of fifty seeing characters and fifteen blind characters for a total of sixty-five characters in all.  The seeing characters, as discussed above, all represent phonemic sounds in Brooding, with the exception of ''Stoot'', which indicates that a blind character will follow. The first sixteen seeing characters are synonymous with and in the order of the first sixteen [[Brooding#Numbers|numbers]].  


The next seven characters are factorials used to create larger numbers.

The origin of the order of the next 24 characters is lost to antiquity, but note that the [[Brooding#Contrasting_Vowels|Contrasting Vowels]] always appear together. The antepenultimate seeing character, ''Seering'' is the only seeing character which does not begin with the sound it represents (/ŋ/). The penultimate seeing character is ''Stoot,'' mentioned above as the only seeing character which does not represent a sound. The final seeing character ''zromed'', is the number ‘zero’.
The next eight characters are factorials used to create larger numbers.
