It'd be spelled 𐑮𐑪𐑯𐑛𐑱𐑝𐑵 in Shavian script English, is that better?

It's easier to read at least, but we loose the etymology.

I also liked the idea of shavian, but I eventually drowsed myself into anglish or what you might call frenchless english or plain english.

That is not to say shavian is not worth your time, it certainly is markworthy.

I have no idea how practical it is, but I've definitely been all-in ever since !shavian@lemmy.world popped up a week ago or so lol. It's just really pretty looking and fun
