lofini/lofurumu and delton scriptsThe Lofini system
The Lofini system is a simple right-to-left top-to-bottom alphabet.
Consonants and vowels are treated equaly. Quite a few of the letters are based off one and other, for instance all the vowels (excluding A) are reflections of one and other i,u,e,o. Voiced consonants are also related to their unvoiced counterparts p -> b (p -> b), s -> z (s -> z), t -> d (t -> d), k -> g (k > g). Their are no spaces in the script and A looks like T but the regular syllable pattern of CV compensates for this. Lofurumu is the Amira dialectal word for the script and it means "life" as it is commonly used in Falo everyday society. The script was invented by the third chancellery in 230 of the first era based on the Delton system however does not combine elements and is much easier to read and write so is widely adopted. In the early days it was written so some characters join to others, this was later fazed out but here is an example of it:
The Delton system
The delton system is similar and different. The symbols are exactly the same just that each syllable is compressed into one. Here is an image of all the possible sounds.
The Delton system is written top-to-bottom left-to right. Unlike the Lofini system it is not as widely used however is much older dating back before the first era. Speakers of Amira use it much more as they try to preserve their ancient heritage and language. It is what all older texts are written in especially those found in the stone archives in Olsete.
Final Note
Scholars have constantly argued since the reconstruction of Fafjole, which system should be used. However, because I cannot use the Delton system online please put up with the lofini script ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
