Re: [predefined-counter-styles] ambiguity or insufficient specification for Latin-based Oromo-Qubee counter styles (#47)

This is a really interesting question! I must admit that I haven't come into a list quite this long yet, but also haven't gone looking for one.  I can see also that in a ridiculously long list "AAA" becomes ambiguous as it may be either "(A)(AA)" or "(AA)(A)".

I can look for an Afaan Oromo literary group, or publishing house, and put the question to them.  I suspect that there is no set convention. An apostrophe is not a bad choice, an alternative might be to apply the defined list item marker as a cycle separator.  I'm not sure which would be less confusing for a mother tongue reader.

I will seek out a representative party to provide input, it may take a few weeks.
