Additional NotesThe Kawasuha script is known for its lack of capitalization and punctuation. Written from left-to-right, Kawasuha was originally written onto stone and wood tablets, giving it its unique straight edges. The script is an abugida-like system, with vowels being marked underneath consonants, and having initial and secondary forms if it is not marked with a consonant.
