=== Uses ===
Despite the Vorin ban on men reading, it is permissible for them to read glyphs.{{ref|b|twok|c|3}} However, mostly they look at the pictographs and could not actually identify what a glyph meant if it was not drawn in the form of its meaning.{{ref|b|twok|c|59}} When a man is able to read glyphs not drawn in the shape of their meaning, it is still remarkable, especially if the man is a [[darkeyes]].{{ref|b|twok|c|1}} [[Stormwarden]]s' books are written in glyphs.{{ref|b|twok|c|60}}
