The full ay, ey, aw, oy characters are for things like initial diphthongs,
such as if we had the word: aymang - ay - mang. Isolated dipthongs are
possible, i cant think of any words that are isolate diphthongs at the
moment (read: i'm revising the language, again :)).

I had over the course of several days refined the diacritics and glyps
down to something simple, yet somewhat complex in form. I like the end
result. If I like it enough...maybe i'll get a tattoo that includes it :)
(which means i'll have to make sure i like all of the glyphs as they are).

They aren't used that often. The glyphs are a saalangal innovation (using
the "initial" vowel in the diphthong, plus the diacritic for the diphthong)
