Symbol conflict?
The symbols for "E" and "final B" look identical. Is this on purpose? Greetings Minks
I also noticed this...I decided to connect a final B to the vowel before to mahe a difference. I also wondered how to write a single "r". There is only a letter for double r (as a vowel). Single r is in one of the examples written as "l", but this seems strange to me. Myriel
- The l is used as a single r, yes; E is a vowel and as such is distinguishable from the final B
- but in many words there are single 'R's as well as 'L's, how can you distinguish one from the other in Enki Scripture, and if you can't, why is there a difference when writing with latin letters? And how is it pronounced - like an L or like an R?
Pronunciation
Can the Pronunciation be clarified either with IPA symbols or sound files? The letters that I think need this the most are: RR, W, Y, E, I, A, Zh, Jh and RR as a consonant.
I know of a sight that has all the sounds of the IPA the address is: http://www.phonetics.ucla.edu/course/chapter1/chapter1.html I look for the copy rights now

Questions in Enkien
I have been looking at the grammar of enkien, but am unsure of how to form a question in it. I have not found any rules in the grammar for making a question. What would be the difference in enkien between these two sentences, "You are my friend." and "Are you my friend?". Does enkien use a change of word order as English does or is there a suffix that is used?
Thank you for your time.
