Writing Names
While the philosophy of Liëth 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.
Let's take the names Michael, Anne, and Elsa: /majkʊl/, /æn/, and /ɛlsǝ/ would produce
VrP/GQtz @Yrc @YwZ[r
respectively as "Makeẅl", "An", and "Elsa". However, this is not the usual written form for names, save Elsa, it ending in a vowel.
"Makeẅl" would instead be written "Makeẅlle" and "An" as "Anne".
VrP/GtQzZO @YrcCO @YwZ[r
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 without trouble.
The final comet flourish is added at the bottom right of the last glyph, much like the flourish on the period.
On the names the flourish would look like:
VrP/GQtzZO| @YrcCO//| @Yw/Z[rm|
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.
In modern mode the names would look like:
ViP/GQtzZO| $o/cCO//| @oZ[im|
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.
