Take into consideration the innovation: a short glottal has been
added because people wanted to case it like other letters. They might
have made another typographic choice: they might have innovated a
wide capital to distinguish it from the "lowercase tall" letter. But
they didn't.
It would be nice to see texts and to have a local expert's view.
