Certainly, but that's not me who suggested to unify the "i with bottom right
hook"
as a variant of "oi/gha". In fact if you read what I read, I have exactly
said the
opposite, because I have always thought that "oi/gha" was a variant of "g"
and not of "i"...
Look at the summary of sounds with "similar" glyphs I posted early, then
this is very clear... This summary was needed because the GIF posted by
Peter was not found in the list (Peter just posted a plain-text description,
but the table he created was not usable as all the column formatting was
lost from his post...)
Instead Peter could post a URL to his interesting Azeri alphabets which
compares the transliteration schemes that occured in different reforms from
Arabic to Latin then Cyrillic then agains Latin.
