As I mentioned yesterday in the B17 pangram, I would try to do a B17+ version next time, and I guess by "next time" I meant tomorrow haha!

^(Note: I used pamudpod in the written sample, but krus virama in digital text because the pamudpod is not compatible yet in all devices; it's fine on PC, but not on my mobile — it's also for this reason I avoid using "ra" if I can help it because it appears as just a blank square)

I attempted to make a sentence that uses every character in Baybayin at least once. For now, it's only in B17. I couldn't come up with a sentence that included the new "ra" character without one character going missing. Oh well, maybe next time.

Rules for the would-be consonant:

• when it's preceded by vowel "a", turn character 90 deg ccw and place on right side as subscript
• when it's preceded by vowel "e/i", place character above not unlike e/i diacritic
• when it's preceded by vowel "o/u", place character below not unlike o/u diacritic
• when it's meant to precede character (e.g., words like tsaa, plantsa, etc.), turn character 90 deg ccw and place on left side as subscript

In a nutshell, this is my very very very radical proposal to just abandon the virama altogether and end the krus v pamudpod debate once and for all. I came up with this idea because I wanted to write words without using extra "letters" (like, as you see in the first slide, "ma-hal ki-ta" instead of "ma-ha-l ki-ta") nor resorting to the frankly limited readability of B17 (ma-ha-ki-ta).

In case anyone starts to feel a certain way, I'm doing this lightheartedly and for creative reasons. Don't worry, I'm not looking to change the rules of Baybayin nor take away your viramas anytime soon, haha!
