Vogon Alphabet - WIP

When I watched "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" film I was not very satisfied with their version of the Vogon Alphabet, which seemed to me, too sophisticated for a Vogon.

So, I decided to design one based on the few Vogon words and names I could find, like the names Jeltz and Kwaltz.

The idea is that the Vogons are not a very creative species and their letters are actually a slight variation of the marks they used to do in the sand with their hands when they first invented it.

The letters are a bit squared to symbolize the Vogon bureaucracy and close-mindedness. They are intentionally ugly and with little variation.

The [BS] means "Blank Space". It was created when a Vogon bureaucrat complained that their employees were not working enough as there were a lot of blank spaces in the documents. The solution was to create the [BS] letter and, today, all documents are completely filled with letters.

The N, L and Tz are only used after the vowels (first column), like in Je|L|TZ and Mow|N|.

I must admit that the most difficult thing in designing it was to try not to be creative. It hurt a lot to use the same symbol in different orientations for almost all letters. The Vogons said to me that there were proposals for other symbols, but they are waiting approval for the last couple of hundreds of years...

I'm gonna work in a grammar. This is obviously a work in progress, so any suggestion and criticism is welcome.
