I do not know who implemented these 'var' variations of a couple letters, but I applaud and laugh because that is a little silly. Arbitrary of course - who says the 'Pamphylian Digamma' has more right to exist just because it did exist within written language at some point? Anyway.
 * I am 90% sure nobody's going to be using any of these 'var' letters. Moreover, 'varphi' is not easily distinguishable from a regular old lowercase phi anyway. If nobody beats me to it I'm going to scrap them, fight me.
 * I'll check if Sho and Yr are featured on Fan-Ball Timeline, which I'm using as a reference regardless of the quality tag. Actually checked. Yr's a Norse letter. Kind of falls outside the Greek we've been using, but Sho's technically a loaner that was used for transcribing other language words anyway. I'm gonna chalk that up as fair for Yr. Updating my own list of notes just in case.
 * Speaking of the timeline page - I'm inclined to hex the cryings of that one rules lawyer-esque guy a while ago. The one yelling about Wau being the wrong name for this (Ϝ). Tell me what ya think.

Now, to go back some comments, Saga. Hoo boy. I've said this before.

I don't think we have much of a 'main' timeline at this point. Planning to have something be one, sure, but right now Saga hasn't earned a single reason to outright flout the little convention we had, as meaningless as it actually is. I agree with Sosh here - it does help keep a vague order out of it. I am not the authority, no, but I really don't think Saga seriously needs to be treated so specially given that we haven't really managed to establish anything too specific about it beyond 'all ponies out' and other general directives.

But hey, opinions. This is one of them and it belongs to my head.

OTHER SIDENOTES: Okay, enough. This isn't an essay.
 * Theta was maybe for Teteoh, but to quote Mori, "it could be any other timeline as well, really" so beans.
 * If something looks the same as a thing we already have when written in uppercase, I'd say no because it's confusing. Again, I'm not an authority.
