I really dig the aesthetics. Are those retconned, or did you start making some new glyphs?

It's so good to see you active again. And I completely agree...a lot to think about.
Thanks! Wonderful to be here and to read this—and most of all to see your work!

Damn, good job! I struggle just to make 50 glyphs, I could not fathom working on over a thousand.

I love the omya walls,

From the outside, the glyphs look very similar to me.
If this is a guarantee of homogeneity,
it's also a difficulty for recognition and memorization
given their number...
can you trace them without memory aids...

I'd argue it's still more memorizable than cuneiform.

this one is as complete as it can be for my purposes and preferences.

I hope you enjoy it. Omyatloko Logosyllabary PDF.
Kudos and congrats on reaching that number. Also many kudos for attaining such a level of completeness.

This is impressive. I don't have much else to say, but yeah. Playing the long game pays off.

Thank you for sharing this; I have read the old document on Moya, but it's been a little while. I have always found Moya to be an interesting script; at first glance, many of the characters seem difficult to tell apart, but when looking at the examples, I was able to parse the script without much difficulty. (This was with the help of the Latin transcription, mind you; I would need more practice to sight-read Moya itself.)

There was only one point in the document that caused me a moment of confusion: the page on the yotsakua mentions the moyamatse, which are not introduced until a few pages later. (I initially went backwards to try to find mention of what they were, before reading forward again and finding them.)

I should say more generally that I have always been impressed by your conlanging (I re-read the Kala grammar a while back) and especially the depth and breadth of your conscripts (particularly Omyatloko, which is a project I find flabbergasting); my own meager efforts in that direction have been largely unsuccessful.

(I have two or three conscript ideas that I have poked at over the years; I know the basic structure and aesthetic that I want, but I have not been able to come up with letterforms that I like.)
