Ranaka uses it's own system for denoting dependent vowels etc. About 200
years ago in their conworld, they did away with the old system that
grantha used, and did things their own way) A dot below means /i/, so it
cannot go below for the virama (this is not odd, the Tagalog script uses
a dot below to indicate o and u, and a dot above for e and i. It doesn't
even have any of the marks for things like the virama, anusvara, etc.).
Also, IIRC, the nasalizer means /N/ right? if so, that won't work beause
ranaka has it's own glyph for that.
