Ambiguous Spaces

cases also correlate pretty well with specific glyph adjacencies -- that is, whenever a common-ish "vord" contains certain glyphs next to each other, it will typically be found with a break between them, without a break between them, and with an ambiguous sort-of-break between them, all in loosely consistent ratios.  

From his You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.:

the glyph pairs with the highest incidences of unexpected behavior also tend to have relatively high proportions of ambiguous word breaks ... there appears to be a correlation between ambiguous spacing and inconsistent spacing between given glyph pairs

He makes the example of r.a and [oraiin] [or.aiin] [or,aiin].

Therefore, in the case of Emma's experiments, I expect that there will be several situations that are not significantly affected by ambiguous spaces (e.g. y.q), while cases that are already problematic when ignoring ambiguous spaces will be even more blurred when comparing with an analysis that includes ambiguous spaces.
