Thanks, I think I figured it out now.

Omega is either a vowel carrier symbol or long vowel mark.
Edh is either /D/ or /T/.
Lambda is /l/.
<|> is either /j/ or /i/.
<X> is /h/.
<y> is /N/. (derived from a katakana 'n')
<O> is /d/.
<G> is /dZ/.
<3> is /Z/.
<L> is /S/. (derived from a hiragana 'shi')

Most others are obvious to anyone familiar with Cyrillic script.

diacritics

"/"  is /a/
"\"  is /e/
"/\" is /u/
"\/" is /i/
"-"  is /o/
".." is /V/

There was a method to these diacritics. they represent in abstract terms the
shape of the mouth when forming these vowels, at least a I perceive the
shape, and under the restriction that no new diacriotics were to be
invented.

Still, I'm not happy with this script. No glottal stops in it, you see. And
that Edh is odd in there, as it is the most complex symbol present.  I
wasn't happy with the /b/ symbol either, but couldn't find anything better.
Anyone want it? Use it.

Thanks, Steg.
