<div dir="ltr">Dear Akshat, Congratulations for the realization of the final version with all the accessories. I am sure Devanagari LGR would remain a model for all NBGP LGRs. I went through it with a great interest. It may not be out of date if I can raise a point that needs some clarification.

Dear All,
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Please find attached, modified Devanagari LGR document with all the changes as suggested by IP accommodated/responded to. This is accompanied with following files.
</div>
<div>
1. Devanagari LGR modified XML file. ( modified as per IP feedback and additional Bengali cross-script variants)
</div>
<div>
2. Test Labels file (with more labels covering almost entire character-set, all the exclusion code-points) (Thanks to Neha Gupta for this.)
</div>
<div>
3. A separate file that contains the labels that produce variants.
</div>
<div>
4. Response to IP for each of the individual changes suggested by them.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
As discussed during the F2F I have added the possible Bengali cross-script variants in Devanagari.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Additional text regarding ZWJ and ZWNJ has also been added which can (and most probably should) be used by all the other script LGRs (Last paragraph of Point 4.1.2.1 ii)
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Gurumukhi variants have also been harmonized and the tables updated accordingly.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
A short paragraph describing the process of harmonization of cross-script variants has also been added at the end of the point 6.5.
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span>While we await the responses on the mailing list for extensive cross-script analysis of other scripts with Devanagari (I have already heard from Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Gurmukhi, Bengali and Gujarati about not having any additional cases of cross-script variants) <span>I have already added the line in Devanagari LGR that no cases were found</span>. </span>
<span>As I am travelling from tomorrow onwards for a week, I may have limited connectivity hence sending in advance. Once we get confirmation from all the scripts (which we most probably will), I request co-chairs to consider as a submission to IP.</span>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Regards,
</div>
