Omyatloko Logosyllabary

Introduction

The “omyatloko” (syllable carving) script is primarily meant to be an epigraphic system, but a
handwritten version is possible, and there is a “text” version as well. It is designed to be reminiscent of
Mayan glyphs, Cuneiform, Japanese Kanji, or Chinese Hanzi. Along with the obvious natural language
inspirations, several constructed scripts have motivated the creation of Omyatloko; Pseudoglyphs,
Kamakawi, Tepat, and Sitelen. The glyphs are logosyllabic, combining about a thousand logograms
(which represent whole words) and 220 syllabograms (which represent syllables).

Syllabograms

The base consonant glyphs were directly inspired by Hangul.

Consonants

Each consonant has three forms. The form used depends on the vowel added when making the syllable
glyph. (ø = null consonant) These are arranged in the pataka order, explained below.

Vowels

Vowel markers are designed to convey articulation of vowels, as well as palatalization or labialization.
Consonantal pre-nasalization and diphthongs are also indicated. The blue squares in the chart below
indicate the position of the consonant glyphs.

Based on the 20 vowel markers, and the 11 consonant components, there are 220 possible
syllabograms, Jedoch, 84 of these are disallowed based on Kala phonotactics. A few good examples
are “lyao”, “ntlu”, and “nho”.

The vowel combination [jaʊ̯] and the consonant [l]; the syllable “lyao” does not occur in Kala, and the
glyph is – as yet – undefined.

The vowel radical for a pre-nasalized consonant followed by the vowel [u] is placed to the left of the
consonant component, in diesem Fall [tl]. The syllable “ntlu” does not occur anywhere in Kala, so the glyph
is used for the word “nyoma”, meaning ‘rice’. It can be interpreted as a “hand cupping grains of rice”, So
it becomes pictographic.

The vowel [ⁿ-o] and the consonant [h]; the syllable “nho” does not occur in Kala, so the glyph is used as
an ideogram for the word “atsi”, meaning ‘angle’.

Logograms

While the syllabogram signs are phonograms, whose meaning is determined by pronunciation,
independent of visual characteristics, the logograms, im Gegensatz, are dependent on meaning and whose
sounds may alter based on usage.

Radicals

Kala logograms can be pictographic, or ideographic. In the context of logograms, vowel markers are
considered radicals, and consonants become components. Radicals, unlike the semantic radicals of
Hanzi or Kanji, are most often only visual references, Jedoch, can occasionally indicate some semantic
information. Components are sometimes associated with pictographic forms they may resemble.

Each of these positional radicals can appear in various ways, and each variation is based on its
appearance:

The categorization of glyphs by radical is most often based on the syllabogram that each glyph is derived
from. It is similar to the radical categories of Japanese, such as hen, tsukuri, ashi, tare, nyō, usw.

The basic formula for glyph formation is;

(This means that “yama” falls in the “gate” component category , modified by the “nta” position radical)

Oder;

radical + component (+ modification) = glyph

| vowel + consonant = syllable

Components

The components for many logograms are borrowed, loosely, from various Mayan glyphs, as well as, CJKV
ideographic radicals and components. The image below shows the 14 primary components used. Those
in green were used in a previous version and may or may not be found in a few glyphs.

Reading of Glyphs

Due to the similarity of glyphs across components and the limited number of variations, glyphs are read
from top to bottom, or left to right, depending on formation, in order to collate, categorize, und
annotate. The glyphs tend to be classified by the full version of the component before the half-size
version. Examples follow.

Here we see muata “manners; be polite; politeness” being categorized with the hamo component and
the nya positional radical rather than the senu component and the mpo positional radical. This is based
on the reading order of ‘top to bottom before left to right’.

The composition of some glyphs leaves open the possibility that it can be categorized in one of several
ways. The above could be a combination of the hamo and topo components, or a modified version of
the phonotactically disallowed syllables lua or tye. Based on the ‘TBLR’ reading order, it would be
collated under the hamo component.

Examples

Here are some examples:

This example has the consonant [k] with the vowel [o] making the syllable “ko”, but when altered
slightly, it makes the ideograph “tanka”, or ‘eagle’. This means that the “tanka” glyph has the “ohi”
radical as that corresponds to the vowel [o].

This is an example of a component lacking an inherent phonetic value. Though, when the “nya” radical is
placed above it, it resembles a person with a blanket over them, daher, the meaning “sleep”.

This glyph features the consonantal component “tl” but a radical that has no corresponding vowel.

Writing Direction

Omyatloko glyphs are written in vertical (“noki”) columns from top-to-bottom, and left-to-right. Sie
can also be written in horizontal (“nota”) lines.

Glyph types

All glyph types are used in the above example.

Contextual Reading

Many of the glyphs serve multiple roles, meaning they have full use as a noun, verb, or both, but they
may also be used as particles and/or affixes. This is called yontile “context (circumstance reading)”. Der
primary meaning, or reading, is called otomyena “surface sound”, and the reading when affixed, otoleka
“attached sound”. What follows are a few examples of this.

A1) opua + tsoya > opuatso meaning “half-finished”
A2) tsoya + opua > tsoyapua meaning “(has been) halved”
A3) kunye + tsoya > kunyetso meaning “half-moon”

B1) kama + tlana > kamako meaning “villager; town-folk”
B2) kama + taha + tlana > kamahatlo meaning “urbanite; city-folk”
B3) taha + tlana > tahako meaning “large person”

C1) Ich- (proximal) + mo (place; location) > hina meaning “this place; here”
C2) ua- (medial) + mo (place; location) > uana meaning “that place; there (by you)”
C3) ye- (distal) + mo (place; location) > yemua meaning “that place; over there”

D1) tlana + ula > kola meaning “someone”
D2) mo + ula > mola meaning “somewhere”
D3) noma + ula > nola meaning “something”

E1) muya ka meaning “(what are you) doing?”
E2) kanyo + to > kanyoto meaning “interrogative”

F1) uaka + kutsu > uakatsu meaning “beef”
F2) mano + kutsu > manotsu meaning “poultry”
F3) masa + kutsu > masatsu meaning “venison”

Other Symbols

Plurals, negatives, and accusatives are marked with suffixed symbols that do not constitute full glyphs.
These are referred to as “ekalo”. In the noki direction they are appended to the bottoms of glyphs, und
in the nota they are added to the right of the glyph.

Deixis

Deixis is marked with similar symbols that do not constitute full glyphs. They are prefixed to glyphs, auf
top in the vertical and initially in the horizontal directions.

In the above sample tsaka (meaning “house”) is rendered with each prefix. The top is the vertical
method, and the bottom is the horizontal.

Writing Styles

“Omyatloko” is primarily meant as a decorative epigraphic script. Aber, I have developed two other
styles that are based on the primary script. The handwritten style of “omyatloko”, called “yatoyo”
utilizes the logograms, and does use the “ekalo”, but can often consist of only syllables. The textual
(font-like) Stil, like the monumental, uses all glyphs consistently and can be referred to as “tlokohi” or
“small syllable”.

umanalo tayo tlanan tsa’o nahe yenahaka amopayek
/umaˈnaːlo ˈtaːjo ˈt͡ɬaːnan ˈt͡saːʔo ˈnaːɦɛ jenaˈhaːka amoˈpaːjek/

Brush Stroke Order

The basic principles for writing “yatoyo” are simple, namely that writing characters should be
economical, with the fewest hand movements to write the most strokes possible. This promotes writing
Geschwindigkeit, accuracy, and readability. This idea is particularly important since as learners progress, characters
often get more complex. Daher, stroke order aids learning and memorization.

General Guidelines:

write from top to bottom, and left to right
horizontal before vertical
outside before center (unless otherwise indicated)
dots and minor strokes last

Because each glyph uses all nine points in a 3×3 grid, each point is named to define and explain stroke
Befehl; this is called “yatopa’a”:

A few examples:

kuatla – pa-te-ne : ma-ne : ma-ua-yo : ko-yo
maua – pa-ua-yo : te-ne-so : ko
yama – pa-ua-yo : te-le : ko-yo
anya – pa-ua : pa-ko : le-yo : so-yo : ne

In these examples you can see that each point is not pronounced or listed as it may not be a juncture or
stopping point for the brush. Aber, each point is covered by the brushstroke. A colon “:” marks a
raise of the pen/brush.

“A scorpion was walking along the bank of a river, wondering how to get to the other side. Suddenly he
saw a fox. He asked the fox to take him on his back across the river. The fox said, “NEIN, if I do that, you’ll
sting me, and I’ll drown.” The scorpion assured him, “If I did that, we’d both drown.” Also, the fox thought
about it and finally agreed. Also, the scorpion climbed up on his back, and the fox began to swim. Aber
halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him. As the poison filled his veins, the fox turned to the
scorpion and said, “why did you do that? Now you’ll drown too.” “I couldn’t help it,” said the scorpion.
“It’s my nature.””

Glyph Dictionary

The glyphs are listed below in the “handwritten” style, by component, then positional radical, Endlich, bis
pataka order, explained below. Syllables in red, like (tyo), indicate the glyph is formed from a
phonotactically disallowed syllable.

Example:

Collating Order

The “pataka”, or collating sequence (alphabetical order) is based on the order established in the Naua
script.

Consonants
Vowels

P
An

t
e

k m
o
Ich

ist
u

s
ua

h
ue

ts
ya

tl
ye

l
yo

Based on this order, ma would come before ha, usw. Prenasalized syllables are ordered after their non-
prenasalized counterparts, d.h., mpa comes after pyo but before ta. To see the collating sequence in
Aktion, look through the lexicon. This order can be vocalized as “pa, ta, ka, ma, na, nya, sa, ha, tsa, tla,
ua, Die, ya, a”, this aids in memorization and organization.
