* <<F68.1005>> Vowels and alphabet names
:hiketep:
Looked through a Teach-Yourself Old English book today to get a look
at the vowels. Not surprisingly, the vowels are somewhere between
modern English and Scandinavian languages.
| Anglo-Saxon | HIKETEP | | Match? |
|-------------+---------+---------------------------+--------|
| Æ | A | cAt | no |
| A | - | "a vowel between A and O" | - |
| E | E | sEt | yes |
| I | I | dIn | yes |
| O | O | nOt | yes |
| U | Ø | pUt | no |
| - | U | pUtt | - |
| Y | - | French "tu" | - |
| Ǣ | Æ | Canadian "eh" (long) | yes* |
| Ā | O | fAther (long) | no** |
| Ē | - | sEt (long) | - |
| Ī | Y | machIne | no |
| Ō | Ö | Canadian "oh" | yes*** |
| Ū | W | rUle | no |
| Ȳ | - | French "lUne" | - |
* matches without the diacritic
** I've conflated Anglo-Saxon O and Ā into HIKETEP-Latin O.
*** diacritic is different, but the essence is the same: "marked O"
Maybe I want to get my Æ in-line with Anglo-Saxon Æ after all. Or
maybe not. The two alphabets are a little more than 50% alike, which
makes me want to use as many of the same sound/glyphs as possible,
but ...50% is still quite a difference.

The name HIKETEP sucks.
