Certainly, quaternions would not be needed for transcribing clay
tablets as such, yet could be useful in, say, making an animated movie
showing how a particular sign consisting of a number of wedge
indentations would have been made.
Stroke order?
Well, what is meant by stroke order? For
I wrote to Oxford today to complain that there should be a
Macintosh version. Please do likewise, if you're a Mac user
and think that we deserve better!
Already did so, in fact, just hours after I posted, I got a response (via
snail mail) telling me they had no intention of doing so,

The order in which strokes are written. Cuneiform wordlists are
organized on this principle. So all words beginning with a single
horizontal stroke come first, then all those beginning

I have no knowledge whatsoever as to whether such an

Sentinel is fairly commonly used in computer science and program code for data
delimiters. Delimiter is also a good word for this (I use it in RichEdit code), but
one may well use delimiter to describe a quote character (like U+0022), whereas I've
never seen sentinel used for a quote. As such

Sentinel does have a meaning in software, an extension of guard to

For instance of usage, see:

Try finding another software meaning using this word,
I agree with Michael Everson that sentinal isn't a good word to
