I'm not to the stage where I can elaborate on tradeoffs yet either - I just followed a tutorial. And the language it's for doesn't need much in the way of parsing. You can't quite just build an array of tokens and use it

One possibility would be to write each lexical set differently. This wouldn't be too difficult within America -- we already spell "marry", "merry", and "Mary" differently, for example. But extending this t

There's a big difference between the "Christian fundamentalism" of Bush and Boykin and Hersh's Knights of Malta line: Bush and Boykin are Protestants, and the Knights of Malta is a Catholic order. (So is Opus Dei.)

Latin and Cyrillic are both descended from Greek, but Latin isn't descended from Cyrillic, nor vice versa. For descent from Phoenician, we should expect that the futhark developed relatively early, and was transmitted to the Proto-Germ
