Hi Siqin, Thanks for the examples - they are helpful. Greg From: siqin [mailto:siqin@almas.co.jp] Sent: Monday, August 24, 2015 11:29 AM To: Greg Eck <greck@postone.net>; public-i18n-mongolian@w3.org Subject: Re: FVS Assignment Mismatch WrapUp Hi Greg, * 182D Medial - given the case where the contextual rules for the dual dots must be over-ridden. In other words, the context dictates that the medial GA is dotted, however, the actual shaping of the word is desired without the dots. I have not had the time to track down examples for this. I did not face with this case in my font implementation experiment. It may be : There is a grammar rule which the two dots will be omitted if g(182D) follows s(1830) and d(1833) in Traditional Mongolian. ( The most dictionaries spell it as QA and read it as GA. ) medi_ga_exception1.png medi_ga_exception2.png But there is a exception medi_ga_exception3.png So, if over-ridden is needed, the doted GA, not the undoted one. I think. * 182D Final - given the case where the feminine final GA does not follow the common pattern of sweeping to the left, but however sweeps to the right. In other words, the word is composed of feminine vowels, but carries a masculine right-ward swept tail. From discussions with Professor Quejngzhabu, I understand that there are just a small subset of words (5-6 in quantity) that follow this pattern.

Erdenechimeg, Siqin, I wonder if you or others can help find some good examples that we can state in this regard? Your examples before were so helpful. We have some good examples for the 1822 medial single-tooth over-ride with NAIMA ("eight"). Also, we have a good set with the 1828 undotted medial over-ride. But we are still lacking for the two cases of the 182D GA as listed above. Anything we can document here will be helpful.

I offer one in the attachment rendering_framework.odt. 2) The rules for contextual forms that may be overridden by variation selectors. Without these rules, we do not know whether we have an adequate set of variation selectors for rendering connected text. I am trying to identify the contextual rules, though I am not the best person for the job. NNBSP has me worried. Do we need to identify suffix rules for every language that might conceivably be written in the Mongolian script with separated suffixes? Richard.
