This link is now broken or the file server moved, but there is another copy
at http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2948.pdf .
There seem to be some minor errors in Figure 1:
1. The w~ row is labelled 'H-N' instead of 'W-N' on the right.
2. Shouldn't the 'r-' row be in red? The section on structure implies that
Massaquoi added it. Similarly, is the 'w~-' row meant to be a mixture of
red and black?
3. Should the ''ʃ~" row heading be in red?
The matter came up because we are discussing, following from
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qalam/message/5253 (counter-snort in
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qalam/message/5254 ), a claim that no more
than 60 symbols are used in everyday Vai. The proposal seems to be a mine
of information, as I suppose the distillation of a conference should be.
Richard.
