Above-base vowel signs have narrow forms in some contexts. A tsa ’phru blocks an above-base vowel sign from being narrow when they are not in adjacent clusters. In the first example string, U+0F59 in the first cluster widens the third and fourth clusters’ vowel signs, despite the presence of the second cluster. The second example string shows how the vowel signs are narrowed without the meddling tsa ’phru.
