Built a set of positional forms with tables, based on the latest Unicode standard and samples of Madnhaya-style script.
I don't think it could be worse than having no positional forms, but surely it needs the eye of a native reader.

According to Unicode Ch 9, Syriac should have combining forms similar to Arabic's.  This range has none.  Needs to be fixed, to make it minimally usable.

(sans normal only)
Many letters that look like they should connect don't extend past the bounding box, and others that maybe shouldn't connect do extend.
