A syllabics script, ᑯᖾᖹ ᖿᐟᖻ ᓱᖽᐧᖿ "pikoni kayna siksika," was created by Anglican missionary John William Tims around 1888, for his Bible translation work. Although conceptually nearly identical to Western Cree syllabics, the letter forms are innovative. Two series "(s, y)" were taken from Cree but given different vowel values; three more "(p, t, m)" were changed in consonant values as well, according to the Latin letter they resembled; and the others "(k, n, w)" were created from asymmetrical parts of Latin and Greek letters; or in the case of the zero consonant, possibly from the musical notation for quarter note. The Latin orientation of the letters is used for the "e" series, after the names of the Latin letters, "pe, te," etc.
