| ===Duutesi Bocör===
| |
|
| |
| [[File:Bocoere.JPG|450px|thumb|right|Modern handwritten script]]
| |
|
| |
| ''Duutesi Bocör'' (Writing of Merchants) is a modern and faster handwritten script. For diphthongs, ''i'' can be written as a diacritic over the vowel (grave accent for preceding and acute for following ''i'').
| |
|
| |
| ===Colours===
| |
|
| |
| The system of colours in Aoma derives from the eight elemental words to which some colours are related. The colour noun is formed with the ''udoi'' (colour) and the elemental component (columns) possible followed by the shade indicator (''geshire'' "natural", ''jule'' "soft" and ''kyrre'' "vibrant"): ''udoi iwari jule'' (colour of soft light) which is also known as himari (Him-colour, metallic silver).
