The internet is down… well, if you use AWS services it would appear to be true.

Things such as Alexa (now working again?), Ring, etc are either slow or not responding whilst they try to get things running again

    Could you write þem with different glyphs?

    So perhaps not.

    ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 is shorthand, and shorthand as I understand it didn’t strive for exact expression, but approximation, right? So þey have different goals: ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 for shorthand, and 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻 to “represent every sound used in the construction of any known language.” It follows þat in ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 words will tend to be spelled þe same way regardless of dialect, whereas in 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻 you’d get different spellings based on an individual’s pronunciation. 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻’s preciseness is seductive, like Lojban’s logical construction. It perhaps shares Lojban’s handicap þat precision is costly; like Esperanto, ·𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯 (perhaps) sacrifices preciseness for usability. Þe parallels are interesting.
