I am sure everyone understands how busy I was with my Final Exams. Else I could never have neglected this thread.
Now that I'm back, Lesson 2 begins here. 
Lesson#2: Vowel Marks
Courtesy Ukinda.com Let's add some accent and vowel marks in between the letter K and N.
Reading from the right of the screen the second word is k'n with the k pronounced a little longer since the accent mark (zabar) is over the k .
The next word kn' has a longer n since the accent mark is over the n. The shapes of the vowels aa, i, ee, u, oo, o, au, ae and aae are obvious from the figure and are explained in more detail after the figure.
Let's take our meaningless word kn and add vowel marks to it. The left word in the next figure reads kAAn (meaning ear in English). The AA is a vertical straight line. A vowel is not joined to the letter following it so the letter n in kaan is written
in its detached form. Note also the slight change in the shape of K .
*
To make kin (as in kith and kin) we put a small slanting mark called "
ZER" below the letter K.
This vowel mark is often left out in newspapers so when you see kn.
You may have to read it as:
*
To write the word kEEn we add two dots to the slanting "zer" mark:
*
To make the sound u as in kUmar a "
PESH" mark is put over the letter as in this word kUn:
To make the long OO as cOOl another fat worm like mark is put after the letter as well as the "pesh" above it as in this word kOOn.
For the mark O as in cOne the worm like mark is on its own without the "pesh":
*
To make the AU sound as in AUtumn the "
ZABAR" mark is put above the O . The next figure reads as kAUn (who?)
*
For the AE sound as in cAEn (cane) we write just two dots below the letter:
*
To make the AAE sound we add a slanting "zabar" above the AE mark:
*
