| 22 | 22 | - **[canon]** The elves wrote first. Every other people's script descends from this hand. | |
| 23 | 23 | - **[canon]** Vertical, in the Mongolian manner: a spine running top to bottom with ticks and loops off either side, columns read left to right. | |
| 24 | 24 | - **[canon]** Elves write vowels as full letters. Every other hand demotes them to marks, except the human one, which promotes them back. | |
| 25 | + | - **[canon]** [[_Ahvesil (Sea Elves)]] and [[_Ajnetik (Wood Elves)]] write this same script, unchanged. | |
| 26 | + | - **[canon]** [[_Bezhal (Drow)]] do not. They are elf-lineage but write elvish words in the dwarven hand, with spelling adjustments. | |
| 25 | 27 | - **[proposed]** Corrected ticks: left of the spine for the deep vowels (a, o, u), right for the forward vowels (e, i). Turned clockwise this becomes the above/below split the dwarven refugee marks use, so that split would be inherited from here. | |
| 26 | 28 | - **[open]** The redraw with corrected ticks, and the five-hand family tree, have not been produced. | |
