I think we can get along without asking for a right meteg, if the following 3 orders can be used: Store Order >Suggested Rendering meteg-any vowel > regular left meteg or central meteg on hatafs (common) meteg-CGJ-vowel > right meteg on all vowels (common) vowel-CGJ-meteg > left meteg on hatafs (rare) If any of these are invalidated though, we don't have a solution. There are 3 placements for meteg and we need 3 means to encode it. I just hadn't recognized the last one as a possibility. Joan
