    Is there a typo in the names for OL CHIKI?

    1C78 ᱸ OL CHIKI MU TTUDDAG
    1C79 ᱹ OL CHIKI GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG
    1C7A ᱺ OL CHIKI MU-GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG

    Should U+1C78 be TTUDDAAG like 1C79 and 1C7A?

    N2984.PDF also shows TTUDDAG for 1C78.

    Searching the file N2984.PDF shows five instances of "TTUDDAG"
    and eleven instances of "TTUDDAAG". The name of U+1C79 is
    OL CHIKI GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG, but in the text it also appears
    as both GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG and as GAAHLAA TTUDDAG.

    Quoting from N2984.PDF,

    "The vowel modifier <©> GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG 1C79 (åè©ñéè©
    §ô†è©å) ga˘hla˘ t.ud. a˘g [g´hl´Tu∂´k’] follows ä 1C5A a, è 1C5F a¯ ,
    and û 1C6F e. In the sources consulted, I have found all three:
    ä© o˘ [O] , è© a˘ [´] , and û© e˘ [E] ."

    Well, copy/pasting didn't work out so well, but it appears, based
    on the Ol Chiki words in the text, that U+1C78 should be named
    OL CHIKI MU TTUDDAAG.

    Best regards,

    James Kass

    P.S.: Re-typing the above quotation gives us:

    “The vowel modifier <ᱹ> GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG 1C79 (ᱜᱟᱹᱦᱞᱟᱹ
    ᱴᱩᱰᱟᱹᱜ) găhlă ṭuḍăg [ɡəhlə ʈuɖəkʼ] follows ᱚ 1C5A a, ᱟ 1C5F ā,
    and ᱯ 1C6F e. In the sources consulted, I have found all three:
    ᱚᱹ ŏ [ɔ] , ᱟᱹ ă [ə] , and ᱮᱹ ĕ [ɛ] .”

    (Note that 1C6F in the quoted paragraph and its associated
    glyph should probably be U+1C6E ᱮ OL CHIKI LETTER LE.)
