This is a very ignorant question: where in your public documentation
are these issues discussed? I own the 3.0 book, but I don't even understand
some parts of it, in the early chapters.
I still don't understand even what happens with basic collation in Hebrew, what
effect the shin / sin dots have. And, of course, I don't understand any of the
more complicated issues either, such as what will happen when your database
sorts un-pointed Hebrew epigraphy (just the consonants) and pointed medieval
Hebrew (all the jots and tittles added).
What you have, by the way is about 45% of the possible Hebrew character set.
The characters that are NOT in there yet all will affect collation and these
other problems that I only know the names of.--Elaine
