Re: Alleged Syllabaries from Alphabets (was: Neosyllabaries)

Thank you for the Potawatomi source. From that, it appears Potawatomi is
indeed a alphabet. The Omnigot Hocak source is however considerably
different from "The Winnebago Syllabary and the Generative Model" by Willard
Walker in Anthropological Linguistics(cited previously). Maybe the Hocaks
have again modified their script.

Thank you again, and best regards,
Jason Glavy

Potawatomi: 'Walker, Willard B, Native Writing Systems. 1996. In:
Goddard, Ives (ed.) Handbook of North American Indians, Vol 17.' as
presented at www.rosettaproject.org for the orthography of the language.

Winnebago: http://www.omniglot.com/writing/hotcak.htm
