[Lohit-devel-list] Lohit2: Improvement plans for Lohit-Kannada !!

[Aravinda VK]

Hi,

As per my observations only blwf and akhn has difference between knda and
knda2. Following table shows the difference

          knda            knd2
blwf     c + h           h +c
akhn    c + h           h + c

where h is halant and c is consonant.

I implemented this in Gubbi(Still has some issues), GSUB rules can be
referred here.
