It seems that the patiw being spacing rather than combining is an error in Unicode. :( Search for "patiw" here: http://www.evertype.com/standards/hy/n1395tech.html "This is a combining character." Hrant Papazian writes: "The mistake has persisted probably because nobody uses the patiw, because nobody puts a -usable- patiw in a font, because pre-OpenType it was impossible to render such a floating mark. Not to mention that the patiw is a very archaic character that always looks old-fashioned."
