And, unsurprisingly, the answer from analogy with Burmese kinzi (Burmese NGA
forms conjuncts with following consonants much as Devanagari RA does) would
seem to be 'No!'. (My example, at
http://www.seasite.niu.edu/Burmese/script/SLessons/SLesson40/lesson.htm , is
possibly suspect. To see it properly requires two SEAsite fonts. Hack
fonts, I'm afraid, but is there yet any alternative for use with pure
Windows software?) If RA did become REPHA, what could the purpose of the
ZWNJ be?
