No, there's no numerical limit. You could do it for whichever 22CWSAs Unicode ends up encoding. Another consequence is that searching as well as sorting would work: you could search at the first level for yod-he-vav-he, and find either P-H or Square encodings, or you could search for specifically P-H codes or particularly Square codes by using a finer degree of separation. The more I think about this, the more I like it. > Or if the Egyptian biconsonantal etc. stuff is harder to process, > is that a limitation? Collating Egyptian is a whole different ball of wax about which I know nothing. -- De plichten van een docent zijn divers, John Cowan die van het gehoor ook.
