I still can't make up my mind about q. I used to lean slightly towards "qo" being a single glyph, but after my last blog post, I must shift towards "q" as a separate glyph.
What I wonder, regarding Lisa's work, is how one can differentiate between ligation and "glyphs that visually contain other glyphs". Is q always in ligature with o, or does the single glyph we write as "qo" just contain something that happens to look like o?
About minim clusters, I would also add that they are flanked on both sides by a minim with an extra stroke, not just on the right.
