Note the following from Unicode 3.0 section 8.1;In section 3.4, UTR No. 20 speaks of � cursively-connected scripts�. (http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr20/#Deprecated)
Unicode 4.0's glossary defines cursive as � writing where the letters of a word are connected � (I have the same definition in a large French book about the history of calligraphy) http://www.unicode.org/book/preview/glossary.pdf
Given this definition, isn't it redundant to speak of cursively-connected scripts or are some cursive scripts not characterized by their letters being connected(*) ? P. A.
(*) Maybe some early roman cursives from the IInd-IIIrd century A.D ? But is the definition of cursive correct then ?
A handwritten form of Hebrew is known as cursive, but its rounded letters are generally unconnected, so the Unicode definition does not apply.
Presumably the same could be said of some forms of Latin script known as "cursive".
