QQIR or GQIR

Dear friends,

I have had some good discussion with Husele of MenkhSoft and Professor Quenjingzhabu on one of our items of discussion - the QQIR initially brought into the forum by Erndenechimeg.

The question has been raised as you can read through the correspondence attached, as to whether the initial loop is U+182C-Q or U+182D-G. Professor Quejingzhabu states emphatically that it cannot be a QA, but as the precedent has always been a GA, that it must be GXIR. Can we have some discussion on this? Could this word actually be GXIR instead of QQIR. We have only one attested form of the third form of the initial 182C. Even if say that it is a "q" sound" maybe we concede to write it with the AliGali U+1889-K instead of making a completely new FVS2 assignment as 182C+FVS2+ZWJ.

What are your thoughts?

Greg
