Aloha All,

Catherine located another Dorsey orthographic oddity. The image link is 
above.

Can anyone interpret the diacritic under the /u/ in the cognates?

It appears to have two under dots.

There are two samples of it.

Catherine reported finding a /u/ with what appears to be an under tilde 
elsewhere.

We are unsure if the two under dots are just a poorly scribed tilde.

Suggestions?

Many thanks

Mark
