Luckily there aren't positional variants of these, however, correct? Both
hiriq and shuruq are always centered.
True, I'm glad to say.
If we do want to distinguish the two positions of holam while
keeping it following the base character, the only way which doesn't land
us in a nasty mess is to define a second variant of holam.
So let it be written (using

Well, if there is something like a consensus on this one I will do that.
But maybe I will wait until we have something like consensus on a few
other issues as well, e.g. double vowels, meteg, extraordinary points,
and so-called inverted nun, and then perhaps write a combined proposal.
