Latin syllables are more structured than most people realize, there are only about a thousand different Latin syllables in large texts. 10 bits of information => 10 slots would be more than enough for a code, because repetitions may be allowed of the some slot, which gives more information per slot, and maybe a few extra slots would be needed if the structure is preserved, in 3 parts (before the vowel, the vowel, after the vowel).

I have one that is much more detailed but I need to finish it and check it. I was thinking lately that I could use combinations of existing IVTFF separators "." and "," instead of specific characters that would break parsers:
,
,,
.
.,
..
...

I don't believe that spaces are significant anymore, so I lost interest years ago and didn't finish the transliteration.
