Aᴧφαβαртα (Alphabet)

I've finally come up with names for the Lurion letters. So here they are:

Aᴧφα
Βαртα
Γεια
Δευα
Єᴧтα
Zeтα
Eтα
Ιтα
Κοππα
Λαδα
Mυα
Нeα
Οмрα
Πecα
Рοα
Cιгмα
Тαυα
Uнα
Φαια
Xιтα
Цιδα



Aren't they one joyful bunch?
The last one isn't actually part of it, as it is not a letter but a diacritic, but who cares, as long as it makes him happy..

On are more serious note, all (real) letters consist of two syllables, the last being the female nominative singular suffix, -α.
Please note:
Єᴧтα is the short /ɜ/, while Eтα is the long /e/ (not the ancient greek Èta: /ɛ/).
Furthermore, Wα is Óa, the long /o/, not a W (/ʋ/ or /w/).
