Isn't it problematic to have the distinction between (MIDDLE) HOOK and DESCENDER for GHE (494/4F6), KA (4C3/49A) and arguably EN (4C7/4C9) but not for PE?
If PE-DESCENDER is really used in Abkhaz. I wouldn't take the chart in D&B for gospel. I haven't checked my Abkhaz files yet.
That being said, I am not trying to beat the master of disunification 8-) If we agree that 4A6/7 is it, then we need at least an annotation "can be rendered with a descender instead of a hook", or may be go all the way for a change of the representative glyph to use a descender, since that is the form used in both D&B and in the Abkhaz font.
We need more evidence to encode a PE-DESCENDER or to annotate a book that just those two sources, I should think.
