* glyph followed by a 's-g-r' glyph. If you know that the characters
* do not contain Sanskrit stacks, or do not contain Tibetan stacks,

* Wylie keyboard, you try to stack from right to left. Thus, the
* character sequence r-g-r would be stacked as r followed by gr,
* rather than rg followed by r. In the Sambhota and TCC keyboards, the
* stack direction is reversed.

              adorned</li>

          <li>three consonant stacks where at most one has adornment.
              If the second has adornment, then the first must be an
              unadorned prefix consonant and the last must be an
              unadorned suffix consonant.  If the first has adornment,
              then the second must be an unadorned suffix consonant
              and the third must be an unadorned secondary suffix
              consonant.</li>

          <li>four consonant stacks where either none is adorned or
              only the second consonant stack is adorned, the first is
              an unadorned prefix consonant, the third is an unadorned
              suffix consonant, and the fourth is an unadorned
              secondary suffix consonant.</li>

        </ul>
