\cite{1984}. In this analysis, the system is described as having six basic vowels, which occupy only one mora in the syllable and need to be followed by a consonant in the coda in order to make a grammatical syllable. All the long vowels are then analyzed as short vowels followed by a semivowel, which changes its quality and adds extra weight to the syllable.
The graph below illustrates the ways in which uniskript exhibits an indexical relation linking the phonological features of the vowels to the visual conceptualization of its indices.
In Figure \ref{216646}, the number of lines mirrors the relative opening of the mouth, while the shape of the lines mirrors the relative backness of the tongue. The table below displays the uniskript glyphs for the short vowels.
