Notes:

1. “Open m”and “Closed m” are both denoted by “ma” as in “mama” to write “mm.”

2. Duplicate uses should be understood by the content.

3. You need Kandy Font to view this document.

4. We have avoided “Capital” letters (Except for rarely used and d with the hope of not using them J) and letters “q, v, x, z.”

5. We welcome Suggestions to improve this scheme.
