...Just for clarification, I didn't either. The first message in which the concept was mentioned was Philippe saying that he did not suggest this.
Can we leave OI/gha out of this? ...
Certainly, but that's not me who suggested to unify the "i with bottom right hook" as a variant of "oi/gha". In fact if you read what I read, I have exactly said the opposite, because I have always thought that "oi/gha" was a variant of "g" and not of "i"...
Look at the summary of sounds with "similar" glyphs I posted early, then
this is very clear... This summary was needed because the GIF posted by
Peter was not found in the list (Peter just posted a plain-text description,
but the table he created was not usable as all the column formatting was
lost from his post...)
Sorry about this. I will try to recover the formatting. The following may work, if viewed with a fixed width font:

Unfortunately this table is not on line.Instead Peter could post a URL to his interesting Azeri alphabets which compares the transliteration schemes that occured in different reforms from Arabic to Latin then Cyrillic then agains Latin.
