Vowels in Circular Gallifreyan

Vowels are simple circles smaller than consonants that are marked by their position. They can be drawn standalone or attached to preceding consonants.

The Rules

• Vowel visual: Circles smaller than consonants
• Vowel attachment: Drawn "attached" to the word circle or "attached" to the preceding consonant
• Three placement zones: Inside, outside, or middle
• A: Circle outside the word circle or positioned on the consonant most outside the word
• E: Circle attached to the word circle or in the middle of the consonant
• I: Circle with a line pointing inwardattached to the word circle and/or in the middle of the consonant
• O: Circle inside the word circle or positions on the consonant most inside the word
• U: Circle with a line pointing outward attached to the word circle and/or in the middle of the consonant

Visual Reference

Vowel Attachment in Action

Let's see how vowels attach to real consonants. First, here are consonant bases without vowels:

Now watch how each vowel attaches to the word circle and all consonant shapes.

Vowels attach differently depending on the consonant's base shape. This table shows every vowel with every consonant shape:
