What is the rationale for the name of U+E816, "handbellsMalletLft" ? On both the font specification web page and in the glyphnames.json file, it appears as "handbellsMalletLft". https://github.com/w3c/smufl/blob/a5692fac550b1be2d9f1cb68e2c1e5f377af0097/metadata/glyphnames.json#L4705 Is there a special reason why this glyph ends in "Lft" instead of "Lift"? Other handbell glyphs end in "Lift": U+E811: handbellsMartellatoLift U+E817: handbellsPluckLift I am not yet ready to file this as a bug report because: 1) I am not very active in the SMuFL discussions within this group, so I may simply have overlooked a previously discussed rationale. 2) I am not an expert on handbells nor glyph names 3) Since it appears in both the web page AND glyphnames.json, this naming choice appears deliberate. If they were different, then I would file a bug report as a typo. However, I can't say with any certain that this is a typo: it's just a naming convention that I currently do not understand. If this is deliberate, I'm very curious to know why this decision was made. If this is a typo, then I will file a bug report. Thanks, J. Sawruk
