Re: "Sagispeak"

:lol:

Okay, but Magratheans are out of scope for now...

What did you think of my more serious proposal to use apostrophes to break double vowels, e.g. "mo'ovai" for :,::.::/|\:

And of adding “sch” to the table for German “sh” sound, as long as we’re adding “tsh” for French “ch” sound.

Re: "Sagispeak"

Okay, it turns out I've got a little chunk of time before I have to get back to my day job, so while it's fresh in my head I'll try to dump this back out: It's a shame that ambiguous "j" sucks up so many consonant sounds. What if we start using vowel sounds? "ei" and "eo&quo...

Re: "Sagispeak"

However, since in Sagispeak the consonants always appear before an "a", and in these contexts "c" always makes /k/, it's not an issue. An interesting point. I wasn't aware of that rule. I agree it checks out. Does it apply in languages other than English, that use the Latin alph...

Re: "Sagispeak"

Ah ha! So that's what the hexadecimal character code was about. Well, I've gone over this thread and I have to say I'm a big fan of Sagispeak. The only thing I might like to change is the use of "k" as opposed to "c". Generally I prefer "k" because its less ambiguous, a...

Re: "Sagispeak"

Yes, it is. Note that we no longer use any "extended ASCII" characters, so there is no longer a short version for anything outside the Athenian single-shaft set. Sorry, what are the "extended ASCII" characters? I assumed they'd be in the Character Map but I'm not finding them. M...

Re: "Sagispeak"

Is the "Plain text shorthand" here an update to the "Mixed short ASCII representation" that appears in the outdated Sagittal-2 Character map ? I don't understand the application for either. The long-ASCII form requires more characters but is so intuitive. Anecdotally, I have yet ...

Re: Prime-factor Sagittal JI notation (one symbol per prime)

I see that you, like Blaise Pascal, did not have time to make it shorter. ;) Exactly... I've exposed you to dangerous levels of my writing-to-myself writing... Those four choices of nominal for 1/1 (C G D A) are indeed special. They are by far the most common choices. C gives a major heptatonic wit...

Re: Prime-factor Sagittal JI notation (one symbol per prime)

I'd like to confirm some information about the table of 12 Pythagoreans shared above. I apologize for the rushed nature of this post. Why stop at providing only columns for C, G, D, and A? I figure that there's nothing special about those particular nominals, and that four is just the count of examp...

Re: Compose-key definitions for easy typing of Sagittals

Oh ho! Got it. Yes, that all totally makes sense that the barbs can support lazy versions. I haven't gotten comfy enough with the ASCII yet to get lazy about it, but it's something to aspire to. When sharing out the full WinCompose capabilities, I'll do so in spreadsheet form, and put these "la...

Re: Search times out

Oh, great, thanks! Indeed, search works great now. I'm glad it was fixable. Thanks for documenting the solution, too.
