Doubled consonants are lengthened.
This is the first system I came up with for the language. This one makes the language look scarily like Finnish. This is the system I use throughout the rest of the book and is normal system.

This was an alternative orthography I came up with when the comments about it looking like Finnish appeared. The orthographic system is the same as the `Northern' system except for the following:
| Northern | Western |
|---|---|
| ä | é |
| ö | u |
| ë | i |
Salossa Kattolt uné Vassu kallendéu iris cezuin de. Colanus rindé béssoans uné ilo anvalarin de. ilo andana uné vellin dida: ésuské uné kallendé ardansu uné colanus irel rindéan iris valsan dianeda. Salossatu estér déloan di, lua kallendéa ardansu uné déluan iris el réanséa ardansu uné rindé ahlett! Salossatu andana uné kassilan dida. Vassutu vérar andan di: béssé iris vallin di'l colanus ahlar rindéan ahlett valsan di. "Vassu la, ésutu uné kallendé ard ansu uné déma!", Salossatu cionnan di.
I created this system for use in email. The only difference with the `Western' system is the use of y in place of é.
Salossa Kattolt uny Vassu kallendyu iris cezuin de. Colanus rindy byssoans uny ilo anvalarin de. ilo andana uny vellin dida: ysusky uny kallendy ardansu uny colanus irel rindyan iris valsan dianeda.

Vassutu vyrar andan di: byssy iris vallin di'l colanus ahlar rindyan ahlett valsan di. "Vassu la, ysutu uny kallendy ardansu uny dyma!", Salossatu cionnan di.
