the amíu writing system

For those who don't know, my Other Hobby is creating model languages. You LotR fans will know exactly what I mean. This is a tiny snippet of my current project, a non-human language called Amíu.

Cut because it has many little pictures which look something like this:

The native Amíu writing system is written from right to left. Characters descend from a bar written above; characters in a word share a bar, as in the Devanagari syllabic alphabet.

The system is generally morphophonemic. Despite the fact that the grammar of the language is quite fusional, there is a symbol (or a symbol plus a determinative) for each morpheme of the language, in all its possible phonetic realizations.

[EDIT2: Even in my own language, I can't spell.]
