deinonychus commented on the word vowel-knob
Found in a text about the construction of an alphabet for the Taíno language.
"The system expresses these consonant-vowel blends by attaching a 'vowel-knob' to the consonant glyph. The position of the vowel-knob denotes which vowel is being sounded after the consonant (above the glyph for the 'ah' sound, to the right of the glyph for 'eh' sound, below the glyph for the 'ee' sound, to the left of the glyph for the 'oh' sound and at the center of the glyph for the 'oo' sound)."
