Consonants, and modifiers for consonants. That’s the ticket.

That’s whay C’n’'nites only wrote in consonants, with modifiers.

The Roman innovation would be the sophistication of the modifiers.

I feel like here is a subject where you really don’t sound like you’re just making stuff up.

But then again, how would I know?

It’s the one thing I did make up.

Maybe what you feel is that it’s genuine, because I made it up. The other stuff, I am mostly referring to what I learned from others, through however many layers of indirection. So it doesn’t sound genuine.

It’s not easy to find a straight line to something, which also matters.
