I spent far, far too much time outside with the chainsaw today slicing up some vast tree trunks so that they will fit in our fireplace, so did not manage much: but here are the "Semitic" vowels implemented as discussed yesterday:

Of course, at the moment one can ONLY enter text by using a mouse, trackball, or trackpad: which is far from what the thing should offer, as keyboard entry in essential, and has to be set up so that an end-user's "domestic" keyboard layout is irrelevant, so this will leverage
rawKeyUp.
There's unlikely to be anything much more before Saturday/Sunday, so here's the stack "as is" in case anyone feels kinky enough to play around with it.

Just a quick, new feature (as getting a bit bored with all that consonant implementation) before I go to bed:

ALL the Unicode glyphs from the Ethiopic range 1200-137F have now been implemented.

The next piece of work is to implement syllables for
Gurage (Unicode Ethiopic Supplement range 1380-139F)
I do NOT intend to implement
Tonal marks during this initial SDLC.

A quick look at that picture will show you that this involves duplet forms, so a modifier key will have to come into play when finalisation vocalisation.

For instance the 'standard' Ethiopic for
M + W + a looks like this:
-

But an alternate ('sebabeit') looks like this:

Obviously it would be ideal if end-users could choose which of the 2 forms they wanted in their text.
One of the ways to effect this is to encode the alternate version if the ALT/OPT key is DOWN when a Vowel button is clicked:

Rethinking things, any alternate forms should NOT be displayed ONLY when a user performs a
mouseDown/mouseUp on a vowel button; all the display code needs to be shifted into another function so that alternates are displayed in the 2 boxes when a
mouseEnter is performed.
I have copied the cardScript into a BBEdit document so that I can modify the '
KNITTING' command to make another command which I will call '
DISPLAYZ'
