Re: Borgman/Xixx's alphabet: the keys on stenographic keyboards are organized according to a similar principle - except that they represent phonemes rather than letters:

STPH*FPLTD

SKWR*RBGSZ

AOEU

(Not comprehensive, obviously, because you have to hit multiple keys simultaneously to get certain sounds: e.g. the word "nine" would appear in raw steno notes written as TPHAOEUPB.)

I'd be interested to see this list in IPA, is what I'm getting at.
