On the other hand, do the script users normally input the NAA ligature
sequence first and then add any additional signs or marks? If the
users consider NAA to be a distinct "letter", then that might explain
why a font developed by a user accomodates the ligation for the string
"NA" + "AA" only when nothing else appears between them. If, for
example, there's a popular input method or keyboard driver which puts
"NAA" on its own key, then the users will be producing data which is
"NA" plus "AA" plus anything else.
