Re: TEI element for a grapheme?

Hi Emmanuelle,

There's one thing I'm not clear on in your question: my understanding of 
a grapheme is that it's the smallest unit in a writing system, so I'm 
not sure what this means:

<g type="grapheme">th</g>

Is there a single grapheme in this particular script (thorn or eth, for 
instance) which is what you're referencing here? I don't see how a 
combination of two glyphs (apologies for loose terminology) can 
constitute a single grapheme.

Cheers,
Martin
