Sorry to be late with my reply. I had written it yesterday, but just before I could finish it, the computer went *tilt*, and all was gone... I was so pissed ...
... Unicode has to handle historical as well as current writing with equal facility, although in the nature of things current usage tends to get encoded first....
... Oh well, Vozgian might be adventurous for a Slavic language, but I won't go so far to give it ejectives. ... In Bashkir, yes. And IIRC the S-hook exists...
... Yes, I know. But it seems to have a completely different phonetic value in Abkhazian. Not that that should be a problem, of course: there are many cases ...
... Hehe. At least, a very colourful proposition! Are you abusing my weakness for tildes? ;)) Hattic, as you know, is full of them. That is also the reason...
