Here are the
stacking rules: of the members of the same group except the last,
two first scripts are
stackable: k* ' s= ' t[' pX
the first and the
second script are stackable: k( ' s+ ' t[ ' pP
two third scripts are
stackable: g) ' z- ' d] ' b,
the third and the
fourth script are stackable: gG ' zZ ' d} ' b<
the athaq \ on top of the
preceeding consonant is always lost when two consonant scripts are stacked except in the
case of 'nga thaq' c\ which remain the same although the size becomes smaller,
e.g., tk\k becomes tk* .
the C called kin zi
"the ridder on the forehead" can be stacked with each of the preceeding
consonant scripts: kC ' KC ' gC ' GC
the V\ "nya-l`e
thaq" can be stacked with both s and z consonant scripts: V=
V-
the nathaq n\ can be stacked
with each of the preceeding consonant scripts and itself as in qi NIn: N[ ' N{ ' N] ' N}
' Nn
the mathaq m\ can be stacked
with each of the preceeding consonant scripts and itself as in kmx: mX mP m, m< mx
the vowel script for
the next character will remain the same before, above or after the stacking, e.g., Bn\et becomes BeN[ with thewe t'`o
before the subscript [ , and km\Ba becomes km<a with y`e c'a
attached to the upper script m but after the subscript < .
she' ga' pauq the
high tone mark : after the vowel symbol is always dropped when the vowel script is stacked
to the next script. e.g., mn\;tel; loses its she' ga' pauq of mn\; when it is stacked mN[el; .
