Writing Names
While the general philosophy is normally to keep things compact, the opposite is considered for names which tend to have doubled consonants and end in a silent, isolated illuminant, because it looks more beautiful.
Names are always initially capitalized with a nova somewhere, and where they do not take a grammatical suffix that would change the pronunciation, a finishing comet flourish is attached to the bottom of the last glyph, much like underlinging a signature, but this is normally used where a name would appear on its own, like a nametag or register or signature, not when written as part of a sentence.
In the case of suffixion, the final illuminant is removed and so is the comet flourish.
Taking the names Michael, Grace, Anne, and Henry in English Mode: /majkʊl/, /gɹejs/, /æn/, and /hɛnɹi/ would produce
VPq//GQtz HoXrbQ @Yr/c MPwcXw
respectively as "Mikeẅl", "Grase", "An", and "Henrë".
"Mikeẅl" and "An" may be written with nonfunctioning illuminants to become "Mikeẅlle" and "Anne" - "Grase" and "Henrë" would remain because they end in a funtional illuminant and a vowel.
VPq//GtQzZO HoXrbQ @Yr/cCO MPwcXw
If your name ends in a vowel that makes the same sound in the final form as the illuminated form, an ending illuminant can be added if it doesn't connect to another vowel.
The final comet flourish is added at the bottom right of the last glyph, much like the flourish on the period, and functions much like underlining a signature.
On the names the flourish would look like:
VPq//GQtzZO| HoXrbQ\ @Yr/cCO//| MPwcXw|
The flourish should cover most of the final glyph (it may end sooner that that) but will always point downwards, and should not obstruct any stellar vowels. Ultimately you may write your name however you wish as long as it is pronounced however it is that you want. A small note that things like book titles are not names but may take a flourish on the last word. Nothing about the title is changed for the flourish save necessary capitalization. Titles are usually separated from the rest of the sentence with planetary novas. For titles that end in a sort of period or exclation mark, which already ends in a flourish, it can either be left off completely or attached to the final planetary nova.
