Writing and Teeth

I feel like a new mom! My baby lost her first tooth. She has been cutting some new teeth for a while, but her puppy teeth were stubbornly staying put. We were playing with her new cloth Frisbee (her old one finally gave way). She let go of the Frisbee, looked up at me with the cutest and most pathetic face, and then she spit a tooth into my hand. It was so damned cute I wish I had filmed it.

Okay, so it looks like I am doing my report in linguistics on one of these writing systems:

1.  Hungarian Runes
2.  Thaana Script
3.  Santali alphabet (Ol Cemet')
4.  Pollard Miao alphabet
5.  Ogham

I proposed these to my instructor via e-mail this morning. We'll see what he says about them. He has shot down several proposals so far because the qualifying condition is that the writing system must be non-Roman and non-Greek based. Because I missed class last week to take my mother to the hospital, I missed out on "cool" choices like Hebrew and hieroglyphics.

We'll see.
