Re: [alreq] Is a talur yeh inside a lexical item followed by a space? (#270)

A couple of points perhaps worth mentioning:

1. The choice of _gol ye_ (medial form with circle below) vs _taler ye_ (final swash form) coincides 100% with the place in the syllable where palatalisation takes place.  Palatalisation as part of a syllable onset uses _gol ye_, while palatalisation after a syllable coda uses _taler ye_.  Therefore, if a non-final syllable with a coda appears in a lexical item,  _taler ye_ will appear inside that lexical item.
2. The pattern of _gol ye_ for initial/medial forms of KASHMIRI YEH and _taler ye_ swash forms for final/isolate forms is identical to the pattern found in FARSI YEH, which is the other yeh character in Kashmiri, used for glides and vowels in Kashmiri.  That is, both types of yeh use sub-base ijam diacritics in initial/medial shapes, and swash forms for final/isolate shapes.
3. Other lexical items which don't involve palatalisation are also sometimes split into parts where syllable codas have a final shape, eg. عَمَل کَرٕنؠ (amal karɨnʲ), دَگ دار (dag daːr), أش دَر (əʃ dar), etc. This is not exclusively a pattern related to palatalisation.
