Here's my entry for the secret alphabet contest, aka Windinglish. Thank you, @kristyglas, for organising this creative activity.
I am afraid I deviated from the brief. I started by writing my usual 'English' alphabet (not the Welsh one which would have 'dd' and 'll', or the Spanish one which would have 'ñ'). I left a blank gap below for the symbol and then I started with the ‘knitting needles’... it went downhill from there.
So, it’s not a completely alien language / set of characters … it’s just a code : tea cup, cup cake, knitting needles, needles, bird, leaf, dog...avocado and insect… There’s no correlation between what we know of the item and the letter. What I mean is that in any case ‘cup’ should be for the letter ‘C’, but that would be too easy…
These are actually some of my favourite things, but I did not include a llama for some strange reason. It was to be the full stop.
I did write a message using it below… can you guess ?
