You've offered no credible substitute.
I, to my credit, proposed two schemes which will treat all of the
orthographies equally (in itself important as you well know). I can
live with:
kw-coruc or kw-corku
kw-corur or kw-corucr or kw-corka or kw-corkua
kw-corkk
kw-corks
or
kw-uccor or kw-kucor
kw-urcor or kw-ucrcor or kw-kacor or kw-kuacor
kw-kkcor
kw-kscor
but if you want
kw-unyes
kw-amendys
kw-kemmyn
then you get
kw-standard
because there isn't another name for that orthography.
And then there are at least three, possibly four Gendallian RLC
orthographies, as well as the flavours of the SWF.
Inconvenient? You needn't tell me. :-)
