Onyx

Onyx is a phonetic steno theory that I was working on a while ago.

I have since moved on to orthospelling with a theory called Pinchord (see Theory in Practice), but I've tried to organize the theory here so that anyone making a new phonetic theory can take inspiration.

I would encourage you to read through the Onyx spec if you're making a new phonetic theory. You should really read about as many theories as you can :p

Onyx was an attempt to make an extremely simple phonetic theory (again, see Theory in Practice) built around a few core ideas:

1. Fully phonetic
2. Extremely short
3. Minimal mandatories
4. Open to heavy briefing

Onyx is a loose derivation of Lapwing (https://lapwing.aerick.ca)

You can read about the theory in the Onyx spec.
