For things like ambiguities, certain little word endings like aspect markers, and words like "Marco" that don't exist in Chinese, the original latin letters are used. (For example, 一 means "one", and has three written forms here: 一A for the word "a", 一N for the word "an", and 一e for the word "the".)

Exactly correct, except a few grammar words (like "to VERB") remain letters.

This strange writing system has roots in Japanese, which mixes kana and kanji the same way I mix letters and sinograms here. So this gives a good approximation of the inner workings of the Japanese orthography.

I say sinograms because I am planning to write Graeco-Latin terms that are not thoroughly assimilated into English using characters that look like, are built on the same principles of, but are not Chinese characters. This was a Vietnamese thing, though they used their home brews to write native words.
