After Utiya had destroyed most of Sequoyah's work, he and Ah-yoka took what was left of his work and moved to a little cabin several miles away from their first home.  Sequoyah had to start his work all over again.  Together they started over and tried to remember what had been completed before.  After a time, they had made progress on the language.  When Sequoyah had completed it, it was made up of 866 symbols.  But there was still something wrong with it.  Ah-yoka could not remember all the symbols, and many of them looked the same.  The English alphabet was made up of 26 symbols, and much easier to remember.  That was what was wrong with it, it had too many symbols.
