Early Old Ibsa
Early Old Ibsa is defined as the form of Old Ibsa used during the Paleo-Teveth from 800 CY to around 1900 CY. During this period, the language likely developed its highly-ablauting root derivational morphology system. It was written with iclinoglyphs.
As inclinoglyphs did not transcribe vowels, personal names from this period are transcribed using the conventions of the Mseo-Teveth, which uses the alphabetic Fiḫ Idjōdj script. For example, the name of the founding ruler Iniz-Ohon I is ynz-'h'n (reconstructed as *i-nuz (w)Vʀan).
Classical Old Ibsa
Classical Old Ibsa is the most common form of Ibsa used during the Meso-Teveth and the Neo-Teveth, and continues to serve as the basis of modern Ibsa. Classical Old Ibsa was primarily written in the Fiḫ Idjōdj script, which contains dedicated glyphs for vowels, unlike the iclinoglyphs in the Paleo-Teveth.
Script
Old Ibsa is written in two different scripts.
Fiḫ Idjōdj
The Fiḫ Idjōdj script is a direct descendent of Proto-Ibsic hieroglyphs.
Fiḫ Isōmt
The Fiḫ Isōmt script is characterized by connective ligatures and optional vowel marking. It is considered a vernacular script, used in everyday situations. Unlike popular belief, Fiḫ Isōmt does not descend directly from the older Fiḫ Idjōdj, but rather descending from an older variant of the Demotic Ibsic script.
