Alphabet

(Work in progress; no glyphs final; numeral glyphs in table purely for author's reference.)

The kavkem alphabet is larger than the Kendaneivash alphabet (which consists of the elements a, b, d, e, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, s̈, t, u, v, y, z), since possibly digraphs have their own symbol, inspired by the numeral system where digraphs find direct use and get their own glyph as well.

It does, however, keep the Kendaneivash convention of keeping two separate alphabets - one for consonants, one for vowels. In recitations, they are often merged, with the shorter vowelphabet observing repetitions (za, sha͡i, sa͡u, re, … jo͡u, nja, ga͡i, … tsi).
