Image:QwghlmianRunes2S.png

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

A stab at what the Qwghlmian alphabet1 might look like, based on the brief description in Cryptonomicon. Red glyphs bear a particularly tenuous connection to the forms described in the book.

Variations on the same glyph are grouped together in blue boxes.

  1. Though, since (according to page 828 of Quicksilver) it contains no vowels, it is technically an abjad.
