EMA

[eyasu tamene]

Dearest Val, Stefan and all

I have attached the SW of Ethiopian Manual Alphabet. 

* The number shows the order

* In the Pronounciation column I used the IPA symbols-  ä which is not similar to 'a'.  The sound is not found in English alphabet. The beginning sound for all the EMA(exept 1st, 3rd and 13th is this sound) 

*My PC doesn't have the Gee'z or Amharic fonts. Thus I am required to use the paint to draw the third column- Amharic Pronounciation.

*The variant forms refers to same pronounciation and different usage.

Hoping to read your suggestion

Eyasu
