<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; well as usual this will be much too condensed<br/>
&gt; & i dont really know where to start<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Thanks for this, and already full of stuff I hadn&#39;t gleaned.<br/>
<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; but in addition to the normal diglyphs the cardinal & semicardinal <br/>
&gt; directions have long been recognizable here at the end of our normal <br/>
&gt; hexaglyphs<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>Again, I don&#39;t have a specific example to mind (and one might be<br/>
non-existent for all I know), but the incorporation of the<br/>
semicardinals has the potential for confusion with a country or state<br/>
digraph, because of their double letters: SE/Sweden; NE/Niger/Nebraska.<br/>

<blockquote><span title="ireply"> &gt; we also have been adding h & l for hi & low points<br/>
&gt; similarly c for centerpoints<br/>
&gt; & in special cases such as the triple tripoint kymotn<br/>
&gt; inventions such as<br/>
&gt; kymotnu with u as in upper<br/>
&gt; kymotnm with m as in middle &<br/>
&gt; kymotnl with l as in lower<br/>
<br/>
 </span></blockquote>I am glad to see C for &quot;centre&quot;, here, since it has one international<br/>
boundary application that&#39;ll gladden your palindromic heart: CNINC, in<br/>
the span between Nepal and Bhutan.<br/>
