Yeah, I wasn't going by the cluster restrictions you listed, but by the
documentation you set. It doesn't give any strokes for /x/ as the middle
consonant:
// Middle consonant cluster:
// 17 = t, 18 = s, 17+18 = ts
// 13 = n, 13+14 = nt
//
// 21 = k, 22 = k, 21+22 = kx
// 15 = N, 15+16 = Nk
//
// 19 = ?, 20 = h, 19+20 = l
See? No x. :)
And is anything done to the glyph to connect the strokes - maybe
via the other, non-phonetic half? Or do they stay isolated in space?
