  • L2/20-246 Teeth and Bellies: a Proposed Model for Encoding Book Pahlavi
    L2/20-246 Teeth and bellies: a proposed model for encoding Book Pahlavi Roozbeh Pournader (WhatsApp) September 7, 2020 Background In Everson 2002, a proposal was made to encode a unified Avestan and Pahlavi script in the Unicode Standard. The proposal went through several iterations, eventually leading to a separate encoding of Avestan as proposed by Everson and Pournader 2007a, in which Pahlavi was considered non-unifiable with Avestan due to its cursive joining property. The non-cursive Inscriptional Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2007b) and the cursive Psalter Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2011) were later encoded too. But Book Pahlavi, despite several attempts (see the Book Pahlavi Topical Document list at https://unicode.org/L2/ topical/bookpahlavi/), remains unencoded. Everson 2002 is peculiar among earlier proposals by proposing six Pahlavi archigraphemes, including an ear, an elbow, and a belly. I remember from conversations with Michael Everson that he intended these to be used for cases when a scribe was just copying some text without understanding the underlying letters, considering the complexity of the script and the loss of some of its nuances to later scribes. They could also be used when modern scholars wanted to represent a manuscript as written, without needing to over-analyze potentially controversial readings. Meyers 2014 takes such a graphical model to an extreme, trying to encode pieces of the writing system, most of which have some correspondence to letters, but with occasional partial letters (e.g. PARTIAL SHIN and FINAL SADHE-PARTIAL PE). Unfortunately, their proposal rejects joining properties for Book Pahlavi and insists that “[t]he joining behaviour of the final stems of the characters in Book Pahlavi is more similar to cursive variants of Latin than to Arabic”.

All ONIX users should note that this is the fourth issue of the ONIX codelists that does not include support for codelists used only with ONIX version 2.1. Of course, ONIX 2.1 remains fully usable, using Issue 36 of the codelists or earlier. Issue 36 continues to be available via the archive section of the EDItEUR website (http://www.editeur.org/15/Archived-Previous-Releases). These codelists are also available within a multilingual online browser at https://ns.editeur.org/onix. Codelists are revised quarterly. Go to latest Issue Layout of codelists This document contains ONIX for Books codelists Issue 40, intended primarily for use with ONIX 3.0. The codelists are arranged in a single table for reference and printing. They may also be used as controlled vocabularies, independent of ONIX. This document does not differentiate explicitly between codelists for ONIX 3.0 and those that are used with earlier releases, but lists used only with earlier releases have been removed. For details of which code list to use with which data element in each version of ONIX, please consult the main Specification for the appropriate release. Occasionally, a handful of codes within a particular list are defined as either deprecated, or not valid for use in a particular version of ONIX or with a particular data element.

  • UTC L2/16‐037 FROM: Deborah Anderson, Ken Whistler
    TO: UTC L2/16‐037 FROM: Deborah Anderson, Ken Whistler, Rick McGowan, Roozbeh Pournader, Andrew Glass, and Laurentiu Iancu SUBJECT: Recommendations to UTC #146 January 2016 on Script Proposals DATE: 22 January 2016 The recommendations below are based on documents available to the members of this group at the time they met, January 19, 2016. EUROPE 1. Latin Document: L2/15‐327 Proposal to add Medievalist punctuation characters – Everson Discussion: We reviewed this document, which requested 21 characters. Many of the proposed characters require more detailed analysis, specifically providing examples that show contrasts in manuscripts, in old transcriptions, and how the marks are represented in text today. Specific comments raised in the discussion: • §1 Introduction. In the list of the proposed characters on pages 1 and 2, include dotted guide‐ lines, which show the placement of the characters in relation to the baseline, mid‐line, and top line, and solid lines separating individual table cells. • §2.2.3. Punctus versus. The text suggests that two glyphs for the same character are being proposed: PUNCTUS VERSUS MARK and LOW PUNCTUS VERSUS MARK. • §2.4 Distinctiones. “Note too that ჻ is the Georgian paragraph separator; no ‘generic’ punctuation mark for that has been encoded.” Is this a request to unify the Latin ჻ with U+10FB Georgian Paragraph Separator? If so, it can be added to ScriptExtensions.txt. • §4 Linebreaking. The assignment of SY as the LB property for DOTTED SOLIDUS should be reviewed by the UTC, since the SY class currently has only one member and it would be prudent to be cautious about adding another member to SY.

Introduction According to D.C Sircar, the Brahmi script and the Prakrit language are the two salient features of Maurya inscriptions found outside the uttarapatha division of ancient Bharatavarsa (Kumaridvipa). The Brahmi script is read from left to right. According to earlty Indian literary traditions, Brahma, the brahmanical god of creation, is usually believed to be the creator of the speech and, thus, the script also. Scholars are of different opinions regarding the origin of Brahmi. According to some scholars, Brahmi is an indigenous script that developed in India. Others believe that it is an Indian modification of a foreign system of writing exactly like Kharosthi, the exact path which is still difficult to trace. Sircar suggests that the development of the Brahmi script can be assumed to be the result of an attempt to write the Middle Indo-Aryan languages in the alien script of the prehistoric peoples of India.
