II. BOOKSTAFING (Spelling)
 In NM aren alle fowelen and wiðsovnderen ovtspoken as in ðe dayen
af ovr forefaðeren, f.f. kovgh, night, ðere a.s.o. 
Herebeneað aren some grovndunlikenessen wið Anglish bookstafing:
- straight 'a' fowel oft oferpvt as 'ea' in NM, f.ex. half > healf,
tan > tean.
- c > s if ovtspoken /s/.
- ðe sound /k/ > c or k, depending on ðe fromness af ðe
skriber. Likewise ck > cc/kk (ðis writer is af Eastern ðvs 
Skandinafian pressing and root so is 'k' anwended *).
- likewise 'qu'-clvster > kw or cw f.f. kween/cween.
- in handwriting so kan 'f' see ovt as 'S' so long as ðere an strike
ðereacross be.
- ph > f.
- 'th' to be written as ðe symbol ð (kalled eth). Ðerefore 
ðat ðis symbol oft hard on writingdesken to skriben is, kan 'q'
as an againstead anwended been, as it vnanwended is, and seeð ovt 
like eth when vpside-down too.
- 'u' kan by 'v' oferbetaken, as in dayen af yore (and as in ðis 
tonglearning!).
- Anglish 'v'>'f'. f.f. 'foten' 'to vote'. 'V' is nee an konsonant in NM,
tis raðer anoðer way af skribing ðe fowel 'u'.
- anwending of 'x ' askworðy; bvt kept as af now or written 'chs'.
- y/i oft swappeden.
- 'ye' be foreshortening af 'the/ðe' in tiden af lakk af spase.
