 * This was taken into account for the first time in the [[Transliterations#Satsuoni-Novil|Satsuoni-Novil transliteration]] but became a bit more usable with [[Transliterations#Foogod|Foogod's transliteration]].

 * Phlosioneer discovered that there are two sub-alphabets '''jdyqu''' and '''olpkgfxs''' (using Foogod's transliteration) + the special characters '''a''' and '''w''' that seem to be spaces or word connectors. The alphabets are used to transcribe a word the following way:
