Notes
- first something like oracle bone script / linear b ideograms, some writing likely names
- long vowels written as CV-V
- gemination written as Ci-CV
- CVC syllables written as CVCV with a copy vowel
- /h/ not written
- later marphat / non-mountain marphat has semi-syllabary properties? starts distinguishing coda maybe...
