I would add that bold capital letters are often used in linear algebra to represent matrices.

Have you considered species other than orcas? Not that I know a whole lot about whales, but what specifically makes orcas the prime candidate? I know CETI is focused on sperm whales. So, maybe there are other species that would be more amenable to learning and communicating in an entirely new language?
