True. Though it would be fun to draw some of them.
I believe, by the way, that chû: is now written
!Xung though whether or not the speakers are
literate and make use of a practical orthography
A couple of errors were corrected in the version
which is on my web site (including the title);
that document has been sent to UTC and WG2. In
the first sentence it suggests that chû: is
"Kxoe", but on further research this seems to be
a different language. I think chû: is what the
Ethnologue calls Kung-Ekoka (in Namibia).
