Note that combining characters alvays apply to the base character
*preceeding* it. Your example, divided into combining sequences:
05D2 05BC 05B8, 05D3 05B9 05A5, 05D5, 05DC, 0020,
05E2 05B2, 05D5 05B9, 05E0 05B4 0596, 05D9
gimel dagesh qamats, dalet holam merkha, vav, lamed, space
ayin hataf-patah, vav holam, nun hiriq tipeha, yod
In that example there is a vav-holam, and before that there is a dalet-holam.
