A sample of _Kamlups Wawa_ for you to try!

A tiny note: _Kamlups Wawa_ is written in a shorthand alphabet, not
really a syllabary.
In other word it's written with a symbol for each sound, rather than a
symbol per syllable.
Several linguists at one conference I attended were under the same
impression you had, Jeff. The Duployan shorthand writing doesn't look
like any alphabet at all, at first glance.
Cheers,
Dave
