A rook syllable has 3 stories: a single vowel in the middle and optional consonants before (above) and after (below) the vowel
There are 24 consonants and 13 vowels, each corresponding to a phoneme of general American English. The first two tables are Latin aliases for the 37 letters, and the second two tables are the rook letters themselves
![Table of rook script vowel sounds, represented here using Latin letters. Those sounds, when stressed, are
u (ʊ) ə (ʌ*) i (ɪ*)
o (ɑ/c) a (æ) e (ɛ)
uu (uː) ou (oʊ) au (aʊ)
ii (iː) oi (ɔ) ai (aɪ) ei (eɪ)
* When unstressed, both ə and i represent the weak vowel /ə ~ ɪ/
The sounds vowels make are also affected by the consonants in the coda. Most noticeably, the rhotic vowels are
ur (ʊəɹ) ər (ɜɹ*) ir (ɪəɹ)
or (ɔɹ) ar (ɑɹ) er (aɹ/ɛəɹ/eɹ)
* /ɚ/ when unstressed
Also the vowel of /æŋ/ (bangle) is realized something like [ẽŋ], higher than the (marginal) vowel of /ɛŋ/ (Bengal)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cnrd4sxhu36jize3o3b6jikp/bafkreid2eo5rvafl77cv76udooohtoi4pb3di4uq7eoat3tymeivls5rye@jpeg)
