I wonder how well Ithkuil can be represented in Ian Banks' Marain script. http://trevor-hopkins.com/banks/a-few-notes-on-marain.html



Ithkuil has well over double the number of phonemes as Marain, so the answer would probably be "not so well".


Rotation and reflection of the basic set extend the phonemes and can link together similar sounding ones in Marain, so I would have thought it would be achievable.
