Not at all. Firstly, the shape of MADDAH is different, it has a tick
on the left and is bowed as it is written to the right. It indicates
[a:]. ZWARAKAY is used just as FATHA is, only it indicates [@] rather
than [a].

Yes, I will be uploading an R version with corrected images as soon
as possible.
