Re: Glossary definitions for ijam and tashkil

Hello Richard,

A comment on ijam:

At the start of the definition, you say "An ijam is a *diacritic*", but 
then later, you say "For example, ۈ [U+06C8 ARABIC LETTER YU] is an 
ijam". Shouldn't it be "For example, ۈ [U+06C8 ARABIC LETTER YU] 
*contains* an ijam"?

(It is not unheard of, of course, that a term gets used both for a 
component and the resulting composition, but I'm not sure that's the 
case here, and if it is, it should be called out explicitly.)

Regards,   Martin.
