Study of the word /ɡədaːɡədɪːɡədaːɡədaːʔo/
Post Body

Can we talk about how the word /ɡədaːɡədɪːɡədaːɡədaːʔo/ can be written is so many different ways depending on the writing system used.

I mean in English we normalized the writing "gedagedigedagedago" but it can be actually written in so many different ways depending on the writing system and even on the norms of the same one.

Obviously for the Abjads we can find some funny possibilities like "جرجرجرجرء" or "גדגדגדגדע" but it makes you actually consider that the difference between what we consider an alphabet and what we consider an abjad is actually not as obvious as it seems.

Like, for exemple take the Armenian alphabet. In this script we would write "Գդագդիգդագդաղօ" (gdagdigdagdagho), (note that I used the letter ghad "ղ" to transcribe the sound /ʔ/ though this use is arbitrary since this sound doesn't exist in any of the armenian dialect) but we would actually not write the same number of letters and actually not "write" the same numbers of sounds since we would only write the vowels ա, ի and օ

Even in Latin, we would write "gedagedigedagedago" in English but many languages, the norm is not to write the /ə/ (ex : in Slovenian trg /tə́rk/)

Anyways my girlfriend decieded to break up with me saying I was too "acoustic" I'm not into Guitar so much so if someone can light me up on what does this mean
