RE: FVS for NA

Siqin,

Thank you for the excellent set of examples on the issue of compound words and the final N (of the first word) going undotted  before a vowel (which would be the first letter of the second word). We have no way to accomplish this given our current specification with the undotted N the default and no FVS assigned to it.

     No, Initial NA always has a dot. If no dot, it read as E(1821), not N(1828).

     Not entirely correct.
     There is exception that NA has not dot before a Mongolian vowel as below.
         Medial A(1820) + FVS1
         Medial I(1822) + FVS1
         Medial o(1823) + FVS1
         Medial u(1824) + FVS1
         Medial OE(1825) + FVS2
         Medial UE(1826) + FVS2
     This forms  are not used in normal word, but used in word which consists of two( or more) words.
     Look at na_exception.pdf and na_exception.png.

     Correct.
> 4) The final form has no dot.
     Correct.
