Anti-Phonetic Brackets

Anti-phonetic brackets (left: 「, right: 」) are based upon the Japanese quotation marks. In Orish their role is to mark a name as a foreign name. Orish uses them because Orish is very phonetic but many foreign names are spelled non-phonetically (or at least by rules that are different from the spelling rules in Orish), and their spellings can mislead the readers and cause them to pronounce them incorrectly; and to prevent the readers from thinking that they can pronounce them correctly by the spellings. It can be either because they have letters that don't exist in Orish (for example, 「Crocs」, with the letter C), have letters that are pronounced differently from in Orish (for example, 「Fox」, with the letter X pronounced as /ks/ rather than /x/ or /χ/), have a combination of letters that doesn't exist in Orish (for example, 「Shazam」, with SH for the /ʃ/ rather than Ʃ), have foreign phonemes (for example, 「Bluetooth」, with /θ/), or have a spelling that is not phonetic at all (for example, 「Renault」).
