* <<G4E.0548>> Letterform topology
Something I would like to do with Hiketep is to use a topologically 
unique letterform for each of the articulations. In order to do this, 
I've needed to give some consideration to the topology of letters. 
Ignoring curved strokes for the moment, the topology of a letter can 
be described as a sequence of stroke relationships. These are

I - Free stroke
L - Concatenated strokes (end-to-end)
T - Butted strokes
X - Crossed strokes (which, picking nits, could be described as a 
stroke with two butted subordinate strokes, or otherwise)

For L and T, some kind of obverse/reverse indicator is needed, as 
each stroke has two ends and two sides, each of which can have a 
different joined stroke.
