(I don't know whether Tamil grammar permits words at the beginning of a sentence that might begin with a sound modified by aytham, but...) So, if a word like Fourier or Xerox did appear at the beginning of a para with a drop initial, and the author wanted to preserve the actual pronunciation, would the drop intial then need to look like this?

ie. would the first-letter selection need to be extended to include 2 grapheme clusters in this instance?
