RE: Terms that are in the lreq docs but not in i18n-glossary

Hi Richard,

 

Thanks. 

 

A few probably belong to a set of terms that might need to be completed and the definitions tied together. Notably, I see “abugida” and “alphabet” in the first list and later “ideograph”, “moraic syllabary” and “featural syllabary”, but not ”ideographic script” or “abjad”. 

 

Do you propose to add all/most of these? The action item was to create a list, but now that we have one… 😃

These terms are used in the Thai and Gurmukhi lreq docs, but are not in https://w3c.github.io/i18n-glossary/
Terms with *** are ones i invented for lack of suitable alternatives.

Abugida
Vowel sign

Circumgraph ***
Conjunct

The following terms are in https://r12a.github.io/scripts/glossary/ but not in https://w3c.github.io/i18n-glossary/ (and the terms above are not included in this list).

Many of these may be used as we work through adding lreq docs to TR.

That completes my action 1239.
