This is the fifth page of my guide to Circular Gallifreyan, or at least the language/code I invented based on the way that Circular Gallifreyan looks in the TV show Doctor Who. While I do not own any rights to the show, and this is purely for fun as a fan, I really would not appreciate someone claiming my writing and its structure and claiming it as their own. Feel free to use it, by all means, but please give me proper credit. :)
Here is an index of the guide so far:

P.1: Basic Structure and Intro. to Sounds
P.2: Consonants
P.3: Vowels
P.4: Links and Sound Ordering
P.5: Additional Sound Notation

There is more coming soon, as I am only about half-way done with the guide, but I just wanted to upload the first half. With this much, you should be able to get a grasp on how to properly form words. The next sections are going to explain sentence structure, verbs, and more. I'm also going to have one page that acts as a cipher which will be a condensed version all of this to help you remember it better.

NOTE: That little up-side-down semicircle you all see next to the syllables is a directional notation. Because the language's structure means that a word could mean something completely different if read sideways or up-side-down, that little symbol should always be facing that way to tell you which way to read it. I will be adding that to the text properly later on.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it, and if you have any questions at all, feel free to comment on any of the pages or send me a private note. Thank you for reading! Allons-y!

I shall be watching you for a full guide. With your help, I think I will be able to translate The Doctor's name one day, if not before it is actually revealed.

I hope thats not a dumb question but uhm...
I have some issues getting this "space" word.
I thought "s" has to be in the place where you did the "p" and the empty circle would be "r".
Naaah I have to understand it. It's so beautiful and perfect and everything :D

I love this! I can't wait to see the rest. I'm still trying to work this all out, but thank you so much!

Would you add the dots to a constant that's doubled like "access" or "Annabelle"?

With a work like access, you'll end up getting a more phonetic version which would be written like ak-ses with the double dots over the s in the second syllable, by coincidence. For doubled letters (like in the word letter, for instance :P) you separate them into two syllables, like let-ter or an-na-bel. It's all phonetic, really.

Would the dots work for double "l"s, like "Holly"?
