Your thoughts on transcribing Anishinaabemowin in Braille, but not in the French-based 6-celled Braille pattern. Because Anishinaabemowin, at least syllabalically, is very balanced (which when transcribed in Roman letters, that balance is lost), and very binary (i.e. you have or you dont have) in structure, if Anishinaabemowin can be transcribed in a 9-cell (3x3) Braille patterns, I am thinking that every Anishinaabemowin sound can be transcribed. Using the Northern Fiero Orthography (just because it is compact), and series of white circles, black circles (and dotted circles to denote different zones) so that the pattern can be illustrated, forming 9-celled syllable blocks, let me show you the patterns below, and please tell me what you think.
