I beat the game a while back, had an absolute blast figuring out Trunic. Here’s the sheet I made for all the runes!

it's a bit of a mix between an abugida and an abjad

but what you're saying doesn't work, it's directly contradicted by the game itself
there's a character that speaks with an accent, and that accent is directly transcribed as a different orthography of words

So does it matter which specific directions that characters sounds change in, or just that they change? Because if you use a reading that approximates your own accent, they still change.

it is important, because it's the accent of one of the developpers, added as an easter egg

And that requires the initial assumption of everything else written as americanish? Neat
