As a rule, a wordspace following a word that is emphasized in any way (color, bold, italic, underline, etc.) shall receive the same emphasis. This is in keeping with the Ge'ez literature tradition.
Does this rule make aesthetic sense in full justification with wordspace in centered positioning style? In Ge'ez manuscripts no issue arrises since little or no white space appears between the wordspace and boundary words. The elastic space around wordspace may stretch considerably in typeset documents, under justification, where continuation of the emphasis may appear peculiar after some stretching threshold width.
