Sometimes progress means me having enough time to work on things (the
Script Encoding Initiative might help, if it ever gets funded).
Encoding takes a lot of work, even if the script is simple enough.
You can see the current draft for Manichaean at

The diacritics are problematic because of their behaviour, apparently.
