Quoting from:
http://www.evertype.com/standards/csur/ewellic.html
"Since spelling is based on pronunciation, words such as tomato and
aunt that have alternative pronunciations will have more than one
possible spelling."
This doesn't sound like the author of Ewellic expects that users
will spell everything alike.
Ewellic is a script, but Exellic might only be a typo.
