// Orthographic notes:
//
// In classical latin the letters A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T V X Y Z were
// used. I and V were used for both the vowels /i/ and /u/, and the semivowels /j/ and
// /w/. Here the distinction between U and the V for /u/ and /w/ is assumed, as is the
// case in most modern texts. Also long vowels are indicated with macrons. Diaresis is
// used to prevent a diphtong being formed. Y with macron has to be replaced by 'yy', 
// since this character is incompatible with older unicode versions.
