Letters
The script is divided into two groups, indoq surəq ᨕᨗᨉᨚ ᨔᨘᨑᨛ or inaq sureq ᨕᨗᨊ ᨔᨘᨑᨛ which literally means 'main letters' and anaq surəq ᨕᨊ ᨔᨘᨑᨛ (literally 'child letters). The indoq surəq are the consonants of the script while anaq surəq are diacritic vowel marks which are also divided into two subsets, dots ᨈᨛᨈᨗ (təttiq) and accents ᨀᨛᨌᨛ (kəccəq).

Famous quotes containing the word letters:
“Bolkenstein, a Minister, was speaking on the Dutch programme from London, and he said that they ought to make a collection of diaries and letters after the war. Of course, they all made a rush at my diary immediately. Just imagine how interesting it would be if I were to publish a romance of the “Secret Annexe.” The title alone would be enough to make people think it was a detective story.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
“Two months dead, I wrestle with your name
Whose separate letters make a paltry sum
That is not you.”
—Howard Moss (b. 1922)
“Do not write me studied letters but ramble as you please.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
