	It's clear that Currier /M/ is a single glypheme.  One 
assumes that Currier /IN/ and Currier /IID/ represent two 
and three glyphemes, respectively, because the /M/ 
alternative was available and yet not used.    EVA /iin/, 
however, could be from one to three glyphemes.  Currier can 
indeed give three alternatives for this case.   If there be 
any objection to EVA as a transcription medium, it would lie 
here and any similar cases.
