 Staging language: Milca Mayerova and the Czech book Alphabet Art Bulletin, The - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Alphabet is unanimously considered a consummate expression of Poetism, the credo that Nezval and Teige formulated in 1923, which has been called Devetsil's main contribution to modern art theory.
In the absence of such investigations, Alphabet has been explained consistently in terms of the ideas of its two male participants--without, for all that, uncovering the divergences in their thinking, nor the importance of their joint achievement to international currents in poetry and the visual arts.
The most obvious aspects of Alphabet, meanwhile, have yet to be addressed: its appropriation of the grade-school syllabary (abeceda in Czech means both "alphabet" and "primer") and the tremendous visibility it confers on Mayerova, an otherwise forgotten creative figure, throughout its pages as well as on the cover.

 Czech alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Czech alphabet is the alphabet used to write in the Czech language.
However, the letters Q and W are used exclusively in foreign words, and are soon replaced with Kv and V once the word becomes "naturalized", and the letters with háčeks and acutes are usually treated as variants, and the 26-letter Latin alphabet is used plus Ch.
Most of the diacritic letters were added to the alphabet through reforms brought about by Jan Hus at the beginning of the 15th century to replace the digraphs and trigraphs used to write Czech sounds that had no equivalent in the Latin alphabet.

The letter ch is a digraph consisting of the sequence of Latin alphabet graphemes C and H, however it is a single phoneme (pronounced like German ch or X in TeX) and represents a single entity in Czech collation order, inserted between H and I.
In the 15th century, the Czech language used to contain many digraphs like modern Polish does, but most of them were replaced by single letters with diacritic marks by the reform of John Huss, so there is only Ch digraph left in the modern Czech.
