However, users may wish to illustrate suffixes in isolation (e.g. for educational purposes). This could be done with the help of ZWJ, but it would be natural for a user to copy a Mongolian suffix (i.e. NNBSP+suffix) from Mongolian text and paste it in isolation (e.g. at start of line or after Latin text) and expect the suffix letter shape to be preserved. >> The relevant sequence is Aletter NNBSP Aletter, for which see >> Examples 6 to 9 in the referenced link.

The possible sequences are: > Aletter NNBSP Aletter, FVS1 NNBSP Aletter, FVS2 NNBSP Aletter, FVS3 NNBSP > Aletter, Numeric NNBSP Aletter, ... FVS1-3 have a word break property of "Extend", which according to Word Boundary Rule 3b <http://unicode.org/reports/tr29/#WB3b> means that they would inherit the ALetter property preceding Mongolian letter. Therefore there is no issue with FVS preceding NNBSP. What is the context for "Numeric NNBSP Aletter" ? ExtendNumLet would inhibit a word break after a numeric, but I think that MidLetter would not.
