I haven't been paying enough attention - what definition are you guys using for the term "glyph"?

Thanks,

Bruce

<sigh>  iin is NOT "certainly one glyph". I believe there are occurrences where "ii" is one glyph, some where iin is a glyph and some where it is i "in" (akin to iw) Let me *randomly* select a few pages (I could find strikingly better examples if I cared to argue this further.

f47v - daiidy  (ii is a "u" here),  saiin (what I see as saud)
f86 (Onion tower section) daiin is clearly da"ii" n (ii is one character, not iin here)

I could find dozens of very clear examples where iin is NOT a single glyph, but I am tired of the whole argument.

ps:  f66 - List of single glyphs shows "c from ch" as a single character.

5950 times out of 5984 <in> is preceded by <a> or <i>

Isn't that interesting?
    

	<iin> is almost certainly one glyph, and also <in> .

	That <ain> is so frequent and other groupings so
infrequent is rather more interesting, though no
surprise.
