History: Original lojban orthography

Proposal for an original orthography for Lojban, by Lakmir. April 2008:

Notes:

• Flick diacritic: The 'flick' diacritic loosely represents vocalisation. I know the relationships described by these letters don't reflect that perfectly, namely l+r and n+m. My 'first draft' justification for those is that they're very closely related letters which naturally bond in pairs, so I have just marked them with the flick for the time being.
• Stroke diacritic: The 'stroke' loosely represents the fricative property. Hence the technically inappropriate grouping of ' and x.
• Sibilant family: s, c, j and z form a special relationship under the 'flick' and 'stroke' concepts, forming a quadrangle thus:

::
ie: s is to z as c is to j, and s is to c as z is to j.::
