Re: [ilreq] When does the ABNF work for Tamil consonant clusters?

What do you mean by "normal" (and is "normal" relevant)? Also what do you mean by "must" - that rendering would be broken, or that the text would feel strange to the reader?
What timeframe are we considering to the past?

I have seen drop caps made of syllables, or just the consonant of a syllable. I have seen vertical text by syllables. I think I haven't seen a drop cap of the vowel mark only, but wouldn't be that much shocked.

Let me point out that there was a script reform in the late seventies prior to which consonants were interacting with left-positioned vowel signs, mostly with AI. Some fonts are still using those ligatures, or offer them as historic ligatures.
