When writing Derani, we could get rid of the diphthong mark (◌◌), and instead reuse more consonant glyphs to write falling diphthongs. This makes the writing system more compact and reduces the amount of marks underneath vowels.
The Toaq name for this reform is (Neıranı), after the total of nine vowel glyphs.
