In your previous msg about Gedeh it was "deltum"... What is the origin of _ţ`_, _ś_ and _ć_? Don't you think final "mem" is a bit annoying?

Does anybody know how gemination is marked in Ethiopic? As for using 8, 6 and 9 as fake letters, it's a bit different from common practice, but still quite readable. Isn't it, guys? > P.A.
