There's at least one mistake: ন্+ধ+য ন্দ্য As for completeness, I don't think it's realistic to ask for a complete set that does not actually list all possible 2- and 3-conjuncts. There is no real rule that dictates inclusion in the list. For example, I don't see ক্+ট্+র on the list, and I can't think of a Bengali word that would need it, but one could spell use it in ইলেক্ট্রিক. Is that a valid use? Also, if the goal is to test fonts (rather than create a list of conjuncts), then this file is definitely missing many conjunct+vowel-sign forms; e.g. স্তু, দ্রূ, etc. From a typographical point of view, any conjunct ending in ট or ঠ followed by ি or ী is interesting, even more so when followed by a chandrabindu. -Deepayan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
