Does the Mongolian alphabet as claimed by the Unicode
codepoints work away from computers?  What I get from that list is
the idea that something much closer to the Semitic original, largely
based on shape, should have been encoded. For example, what is
encoded as OE- should actually have been encoded as E-O-I- (aleph, waw,
yodh as 'The World's Writing Systems' by Daniels and Bright puts it).
