Hello Everyone, Some notes on updates to the developing Ethiopian Layout Requirements document appearing in the last 7-10 days: * New Subsection added on the alignment of Ethiopic numerals vertically. * More definitions populated in the glossary. Elias, can you provide an example for section 4.2? I was reading about red as a mechanism for emphasis in Ethiopian Scribal Practice 7 this past week and was fascinated to learn that red can be applied to form a new punctation type. In most cases red appearing in a bichromatic symbol is simply decoration; but red applied to hulet-neteb has been used to create an abbreviation symbol, as well as to create separate full stop symbols for use within a paragraph vs at the end of paragraph. While interesting as a footnote, this practice goes well beyond the scope of our charter, but would be valuable knowledge at a time when Unicode is ready to encode bichromatic symbols (perhaps soon given the rise of emojis). -Daniel
