It does remind me of the distinction between German umlaut marks and
diaereses, for which CGJ was the solution.  There's a similar problem
with the distinction in dictionaries between Nenets U+0438 CYRILLIC
SMALL LETTER I plus combining breve to shorten it and the Nenets use of
the semivowel U+0439 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHORT I.
