And several contstructed langauges have other similar weirdness. I mention
constructed langauges because, believe it or not, there is a bible in
Klingon. Now I'm only familiar with spoken Klingon not written klingon but I
imagine that the concept of words is very different from ours. I mean after
all this is a language that attaches the vast majority of the word to the
verb. ^_~
Elder Furthark (a "real" language :P), which I'm pretty sure Tolkien based his
stick runes on, may have used a dot to space words (I know Tolkien's rune
based langauges did so I'm taking a risk and assuming)
