This is very interesting, and contains information not easy to find elsewhere, but can anyone on the list comment on how reliable it is?

I ask because it contains this: "... Old Mongolian writing ... was organized vertically from right to left and ... used symbols recalling runes". I don't speak Mongolian, but my university teaches it, and I have to make the Traditional Script work on computers: it is cursive (unlike runes) and the columns run from left to right.

Presumably the expertise of the authors is in Cyrillic writing systems.
