Hi Xen,
I really liked your -> h -> n, -> μ -> u mnemonic. It seems your opinion carried enough weight, along with Cam's and mine. George emailed me the following, 2 months ago. I asked him to post it to this forum 2 months ago so everyone else didn't have to take my word for it, but It seems he's having too much fun evangelising the Moschino free-bass system for the piano accordion.

[Edit: Similarly 'c' cannot be a down symbol as its attempted pronunciation would clash with 's' or 'k'.]

So George agrees re n/u but goes on to suggest different ASCII assignments for two rarely-used athenian symbols.George Secor wrote:Hi Dave,
Okay, since the preponderance of opinion on the Sagittal forum seems to be n and u for and , respectively, I'll go along with that, because it is easier to remember.
However, for and , it's evident that whatever shorthand is used is going look nothing like those symbols. You proposed "e" and "c", respectively, but I think that "e" looks more like an up symbol than a down symbol, so I propose "o" and "e" for down and up, respectively. If that's the case, then and could be changed from "i" and "*" to "i" and "c".

Does anyone have a preference:
i * ranao ranai 7:11-kleisma ~10c e c sanao sanai 17-comma ~15cversus
i c ranao ranai 7:11-kleisma ~10c o e sanao sanai 17-comma ~15cor perhaps you have another suggestion? I note that the only other available characters are '@' and 'l' (lowercase-L), and the latter can't be used as a down symbol as its attempted pronunciation would clash with 'r' in some languages. I note also that so far we have a mnemonic that whenever a down/up pair consist of a letter and a non-letter, the letter is always the down character. This is based on the prototype pairs b # and v ^.
