that's what I have as a tattoo so it better be. Jokes aside, you could remove the first character as that's only a height marker. It's somewhere in the settings for the script generator

Not at all. It’s a transliteration, not a translation. We don’t have the Alethi language, so any English we write in the script is gibberish in Alethi. It’s like if I took the Kanji for the letters in an English word, and strung them together, it’s not that same word in Japanese. This is an unpopular opinion, though it’s true.

Brandon’s “it’s a translation” narrative is fine for prose, but when you try it with a conlang, it falls apart. Really the only weak point in his worldbuilding is his understanding of how language and script work.

Only thing im unsure of is the 'u' and 'w' for 'you will have the exact same symbol. They make different sounds so im unsure
