Notation: Following standard notation, phonemic pronunciation is written in /slashes/, phonetic/dialectal pronunciation in [brackets] and graphemes (ie letters in spelling) in ⟨angle brackets⟩. The 'greater than' symbol (which I can't use in the description and will write as '→' in the example) stands for 'becomes,' and '/' means 'in the environment where'. V is vowel and C is consonant, with _ showing in which specific environment the grapheme is placed. I've adapted this notation to concisely show orthographic changes in each reform, although it is most often used when describing a given language's phonology, morphology and phonotactics.
Example: /f/ → ⟨f⟩ / ⟨ph⟩ would be transliterated as 'the phoneme /f/ becomes the grapheme ⟨f⟩ in the environment where it was written ⟨ph⟩.'
