Combining commas above are inconsistent with those below #123

The issue applies to combining commas above:
• [o̒] U+0312 COMBINING TURNED COMMA ABOVE
• [o̓] U+0313 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE
• [o̔] U+0314 COMBINING REVERSED COMMA ABOVE
• [o̕] U+0315 COMBINING COMMA ABOVE RIGHT

combining comma below:
• [o̦] U+0326 COMBINING COMMA BELOW

modifier commas above:
• [ʻ] U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER TURNED COMMA
• [ʼ] U+02BC MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE
• [ʽ] U+02BD MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED COMM

and certain precomposed characters with cedilla or comma below:
• ĢĶĻŅŖȘȚ ģķļņŗșț

I believe that the comma in all these characters should look analogously, even 
though for historic reasons the Latvian letters ģķļņŗ are treated as if 
they had a cedilla rather than comma below or turned comma above.

Unfortunately in Noto Serif the combining commas above and modifier commas 
above have a bulb, while combining comma below and the comma in all precomposed 
characters have a more simplified shape. Also in Noto Sans they differ in size.

They might all have the simpler / smaller comma shape.

Why do I care? My conscript uses several letters with comma below and turned 
comma above (b̦d̦f̦l̦m̦n̦p̒r̦șțv̦z̦). They must use the combining 
characters (except for șț), and they look inconsistently in Noto fonts.
