Hmm, do you actually use these with Syriac, or are they just Arabic/
Persian leftovers?

Ahhh, certainly they are "leftovers" ... since I wasn't sure what I was
doing. <br>

I think you want to put U+0710 SYRIAC LETTER ALAPH into the class \A
instead of \R. The reason for distinguishing \A from \R was exactly
this: we don't want to introduce kashideh into the L-A pair.

Of course, you're suggestion is on the mark! So now I've got it. Thank
you, again, for your help.<br>
<br>
Is there a way, nonetheless, to be able to "turn off" the kashideh on
the fly?<br>
