I doubt that it's based in English, so it may not be as clear-cut as determining which letters are which. On the up side, it does seem like Centipeetle is writing in a language that is phonetic (even if she seems to be writing in what I assume is the cursive of the gem language). That doesn't give us hints, though, since the show writers can find inspiration from many languages - ancient Egyptian, English, French, Spanish all come to mind. And even when we manage to get down how the word is pronounced, it likely won't mean anything in English. It might just be a made-up word, and the show writers might actually be trying to make their own language not based off any other language. Considering how they're actually maintaining Peridot's Twitter account and Ronaldo's Keep Beach City Weird blog, this wouldn't surprise me at all.
