我們發現一本即將付印的新約（NT）詞彙表（Glossary）中存在問題。
該語言包含雙字母組合（digraph）vh。字母「v」和「h」在其他情況下很少見，但確實會出現。由於詞彙表會自動按字母順序排列條目，結果導致條目以不理想的方式重新排序。
所有以 avha- 開頭的條目都被排在包含 aVha- 的條目之前。（這種大寫寫法對於某些專有名詞是必需的。）因此，像 Avhafinjile 這樣的詞被排在像 AVhafalisaayi 這樣的詞之前，但我們實際期望的是相反的情況（-fa- 排在 -fi- 之前）。推測 Paratext 將 AVhafalisaayi 視為 a+v+h 而非 a+vh 來排序。理想情況下，Paratext 應該能識別「Vh」是「vh」的大寫形式。不幸的是，Paratext 確實能識別「vh」為雙字母組合，但僅限於其未大寫時。
這僅僅是詞彙表排序行為的限制、語言設定的限制、語言設定的問題，還是非傳統大寫寫法導致的結果？
語言設定指南建議不應包含多字母組合（multigraphs）的大寫形式。這是否永遠如此，還是實際上有可能/值得具備包含雙字母組合大寫形式（Vh）的功能？
我想知道：
- 我們能做什麼來讓 Paratext 按期望的方式排序這些條目？
- 我是否應該在此提出某個功能/變更請求？
- 還有其他建議嗎？
謝謝，

We found a problem in the Glossary of a NT which was about to be printed.
This language contains the digraph vh. The letters ‘v’ and ‘h’ are rare otherwise, but do also occur. Since the glossary automatically sorts entries alphabetically, it actually rearranged the entries in an undesirable way.
All entries which begin with avha- are ordered before entries containing aVha-. (This capitalization is required for certain proper nouns). So a word like Avhafinjile is ordered before a word like AVhafalisaayi, but we actually expect the opposite (-fa- before -fi). Presumably Paratext is ordering AVhafalisaayi as a+v+h rather than a+vh. Ideally, Paratext could recognize ‘Vh’ as a capitalized form of ‘vh’. It is just unfortunate that Paratext does recognize ‘vh’ as a digraph, but only when it is not capitalized.
Is this simply a limitation of the Glossary’s sorting behavior, the language settings, or just a result of the unconventional capitalization?
The language settings Guide suggests that one should not include a capitalized form of multigraphs. Is that always true, or would it actually be possible/desirable to have the ability to include a capitalized form of the digraph (Vh)?
I’m interested to hear:
- Is there something we can do to get Paratext to sort these as desired?
- Is there some feature/change request I should make here?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
