One was from beta.xerox.com which I imagine was Joe Becker. This entry occured last friday. That person next logged intot the fidel page directly from the proposal page -indicates a type-in request. So I am quite sure it was him since those two URL were in the letter to Unicode. So we wait... ...but not rest :-) Item 2 of Appendix B still baffles me, I do not know what the columns on the right are to provide. Anyway this is my suggestion for the rewrite which I think delivers what the original had intended. I will go aheand and add it to the Appendix and keep the other version as a back up if I receive word that this is on the wrong track. 2. The Sixth Order (Sadiss-bate) letters are shown in the key mapping table below. The set of Orders and and their recommended compose sequences (see also Appendix A) are as shown: English Name Traditional Name Compose Sequence Column in Ethiopic Table First Order Ge'ez-bate +e 1 Second Order Ka'b-bate +u 2 Third Order Salise-bate +i 3 Fourth Order Rab'-bate +a 4 Fifth Order Hamiss-bate +E 5 Sixth Order Sadiss-bate (default) 6 Seventh Order Sab'-bate +o 7 Labiovelar Extended Forms Eighth Order Ge'ez-Dikala-bate +We 1 Ninth Order Ka'b-Dikala-bate +Wu / +W 2 Tenth Order Salise-Dikala-bate +Wi 3 Eleventh Order Rab'-Dikala-bate +Wa 4 [ or 8th* ] Twelth Order Hamiss-Dikala-bate +WE 5 * for consonant series with only 8 forms. suggestions...suggestions...suggestions.... -dan'El
