But are these supplemental Malayalam letters borrowed from Syriac
really RTL like in the Syriac script ? I have doubts (it would
seriously impact the Malayalam script which is LTR).
Since these character are uses to write the Malayalam *language* in the
Syriac *script*, the borrowing is the other way around, they are
essentially Malayalam (script) characters borrowed into Syriac.
Fig 17 of http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15156-syriac-malayalam.pdf
shows an example of the look of this text.
