Character Classes

[Emma May Smith]

Hi Emma - recently I've also been wondering about the relation between o and y - the most common vords beginning <ok> often have <yk> parallels (same with <ot> probably). And in Marco's work, they are in the same group...

The yk parallels, and indeed most words beginning with y, have a tendency to be line initial. If characters represent sounds then y and o are the same kind of sound and the beginnings of lines induce sound change. It's all very wonderful to think about and I wish I understood what it means.
