H tends to be omitted medially and even initially, a vowel dot written instead, presumably reflecting Taylor's pronunciation.
In addition to sounds, each letter stands for several common short words.
Because they are not supported by computer fonts, Canadian syllabics have been substituted where these have approximately the same shape (though they tend to have deeper curves and shorter lines than the shorthand letters); where a symbol is not available, a description is given.
