    i’m continuing to look into this.

    so, IPA lists i as such:

    and that’s consistent with what we expect.

    but then i don’t know what’s the difference with 𐑰.

    Shavian site shows /ɪ/~/i/ for 𐑦, but those are two different sounds, the ‘ih’ and the ‘ii’ respectively.

    so yeah, in order to disambiguate, i’d need 𐑦 to be either one or the other, but it can’t be both and can’t overlap with the sound for 𐑰.

    so i’m still left in agreement, that i need to treat 𐑦 as /ɪ/ only.

    sorry i keep repeating this, but it bothers me too. XD

    edit and FINALLY, in QUIKSCRIPT, the revised version of Shavian, he specifies 𐑦 as ONLY /ɪ/, ‘ih.’ for me, that settles that! XD

      I was going to try and play Devil’s advocate on this, but looking at the IPA example words you shared, I’d be inclined to write all those with 𐑰. That makes it hard to argue against this!
      I wonder if there are any words pronounced with /i/ that would seem more natural with 𐑦 than 𐑰

      This is really interesting, it feels a bit like we’re retracing his steps here!
