QuestionCould someone provide a clear example of punctuation used in a sentence?Community AnswerAfter you have written your sentence, make a dented, rough circle around the writing and then place your punctuation marks in between words outside the rough circle. Then, enclose your punctuation with a normal circle around that. A Circukar Gallifreyan article is available on PDF by the language inventor. It provides a much clearer example.

QuestionIn a sentence that curves into a spiral, where would I put the final punctuation?Community AnswerThe final punctuation in a spiral would always appear in the bottom left side of the circle. It doesn't matter how short or long your sentence is or where the final word actually is, the final punctuation is always put there.

QuestionHow do I write "f" and how do I write "wordown" with two o's, like spoon, moon?Community AnswerI would apply the first part of the double vowel to the preceding consonant, and then apply the second part to the first. So if I had ‘slitheen,’ the ‘hee’ would be a partial circle with 2 lines extending from it and two concentric circles in it.
