PT 9.5 is reporting errors we haven't seen before with the glottal stop which is written in this project as [  ˊ ]. The glottal only occurs before [ y] or [ w] so in the language settings it isn't entered separetly as a character but only as multigraphs with w and y. However, in the characters inventory (show combinations activated) it appears as an individual character and can't be searched for as a combination (as other multigraphs such as ng, dj can be). When Basic checks are run the team now get error messages such as
REV 7:2 Invalid or unknown character combination: ||aˊ||

This is accurate in so far as [aˊ ] is invalid, However the full context is [ kaˊwɨ̃bha], i.e. the glottal is in combination with the following [ w], which is a valid combination. Why is PT sometimes recognising the glottal as an individual character (98 times, always, I think after a space and with w/y following) when it is not in the language settings as an independant character? Why, when it appears word-medial, does it report an error trying to associate it with the preceding letter but not give anoption to validate it as a multigraph with the  following letter? I don't recall getting these error messages before PT 9.5, though I think the problem with the inventory only seeing the glottal as an individual character and not giving the possibility to validate it as a multigraph already existed.
Thanks for any clarification.
