Learn Shavian/Vowels/1

From Wikibooks, open books for an open world

The first two letters you will learn are called if and eat. They look like this

Name Letter
if 𐑦
eat 𐑰

You can imagine that someone wanted to make the if letter longer, so they broke it in the middle and tried to pull it apart to lengthen it. That is how we got the eat letter.
