Oh, then that *is* what you meant?
"ligature" = more than one letter written as one.  i.e. your
'conjoined' letters.
So the question is, what *sounds* do you mean by AE and OE?  I can
think of a number of possibilities for each one, based on their use in
Latin, Old English, Modern English, French, and other languages.
