With a little more research, I think I'm wrong. Nakanishi's "Writing Systems of the World" shows that for kyu the vowel sign combines with the ya not with the ka. So the current classification of _db is wrong for both traditional and reformed Malayalam. I'll go ahead and make the change. At least for this we don't have to deal with different behaviors for the two forms. Regards, Owen
