This is another easily hand-written, phonetically constructed script from my Phonological Cypher series. The name refers to a planet mentioned in the work of science fiction author Cordwainer Smith, a place where the immortality drug stroon is produced. In turn it comes from “Old North Australia”, which is a reference back in time to my current location.
Consonants
There is a fairly regular series for each main phonetic location, plus a few other glyphs somewhat inter-related. It does not have enough consonants to be useful for the Sgai language, but is perfectly fine for English etc. Note the initial forms of [m] and [n] sit upon the baseline.
Vowels & punctuation
The vowel space is divided in a semi-symmetrical way. There are not yet methods for showing nasalization or tone. The marks for punctuation do have some sense of tone associated, with ? rising and ! falling.
Example
This is the beginning of Shakespeare’s sonnet 18 again (transliteration only), for comparison with versions of SIGIL etc.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate;
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.
