| Mmm. Yes, the concept of letters with a distinctively different cursive form from their printed form is part of what was interesting me about the whole idea. It's even more pronounced in Cyrillic (if I remember correctly from a few half-hearted Russian lessons I had in the 6th form): a few letters look so different that a non-native reader wouldn't even recognise them as the same letter without being told. Though, I suppose, a non-native reader of the Roman alphabet might justifiably think the same about our single- and double-storey 'a'. |
