When these combinations are written in dbu-can script, as they
are here ,the problem may not look too bad. - However in
semi-cursive and cursive forms of Tibetan script  subjoined
vowels are completly connected with the preceeding consonants -
and the combination of consonant(s) + subjouned vowel(s) need to
be implemented in a font as a single ligature. While the above
headline vowel(s) can still be be a seperate combining glyph.
Hence it is important to have subjoined vowel signs ordered
before those which can occur above the stack.
