Yes, I see the comment you're directing my attention to now: "The /ai/ ᐁ-series has been recently readopted in Nunavik; /ai/ in Nunavut would be ᐊᐃ. Unicode gives long /aai/ as ᐂ, although I have not seen this used in texts."
I'm not sure what to do with this however. The bible this is suppose to be supporting is also presenting ᐂ (not ᐊᐃ), as is the OSIS, and so is the USFM; the translators have not specifically spoken to. So the .conf file I sent is consistent with everything else I've seen. Are you suggesting the wrong syllabic was used - or what do you propose? ~A On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 8:19 AM, Chris Little <chris...@crosswire.org> wrote: > On 08/15/2012 04:23 AM, David Haslam wrote: >> >> See also http://www.languagegeek.com/inu/inu_syllabarium.html >> >> "1.
