Re: [shavian] An answer for Steve's Question

Paul,   I have never mapped the ITA on the IPA. The only real difficulty you would have is with respect to schwa. The i/t/a has &r </r> but no schwa.   tradspl   i/t/a       IPA Other = uth/r      /VD&r/ sofa  =  soefa    /soUf&/ ago   =  ago      /&goU/   --Steve Hi Steve I am very pragmatic in my choice of Pitman's I.T.A. It maps nicely onto both the Roman Alphabet and the Shavian Alphabet, yet makes a clear distinction between a letter from Roman and one of its extended set of letters. It is easy to teach. The lack of one letter, albeit a very useful letter, does not change my opinion that it is close to what I want.   Steve T.
