The core of the discussion, in my eyes, is whether syllabaries and
abugidas belong in two different primary categories. I noticed that
you had put them together. I was having difficulty with the
inconsistent definitions for these two terms. This inconsistency has
now been recognized. What do you think about these terms now? Two
types of two sub-types?

I believe that the discussion of input methods is beside the point
right now. However, I would be interested in continuing the
discussion on input methods and responding to your comments with
examples from experience off the list if you like.
