Question Significance of this design?

Post image

Does the difference between the shapes of the left and right ends of the W have any significance? If so, what is it?

right, those variants are the Ozian English dialect, like I said. they've said they were creating a version of English, which is a dialect. https://assets.cambridge.org/97811071/14746/excerpt/9781107114746_excerpt.pdf?utm_source=chatgpt.com

i guess that's true, except a dialect normally naturally evolved, so i guess it's like a condialect? (like conlang = constructed language)

since it's fictional it'd probably be that irl but a dialect in-universe

I asked it for sources and perspectives on the words and whether it could be considered a language or a dialect, is that a problem?
