Perhaps "another of the scripts J.R.R. Tolkien devised for his
fictional universe". (He's not late. He died in 19.)
Featured in Sarati are the consonant symbols (sarat) that form the
backbone of the vertical reading line; the vowels are small marks
that go on either side (left for before, right for after) of the
involved consonantóthe name *Illuvatar* (for example) would be
written thus in Sarati:
We haven't roadmapped Sarati yet, by the way.
