Or "some graphemes"; it would normally not apply to all of them.

Minimal contrast is not the only way of establishing them; and we do 
have two dialects of Revived Cornish already, and we know quite a lot 
about both of them and about the influence of English on them.

I hope you are not suggesting that KS will be "a mess". For my part, 
I believe that KS will be a useful practical orthography. It should 
lead learners to better pronunciation, and offer teachers better 
tools to help learners achieve that.
