Not printed but also not coded! That's the issue.
You don't have any code point assigned that means:
"implicit Hebrew letter"; I'm curious to know which letter(s)
is/are implied: if there are only a few, then may be they
could be assigned separate codepoints for each semantic
value).
As long as this extra *implicit letter* will not be coded, there
will remain a problem with the NF forms. Some other scripts
have such "implicit" letters encoded, or "fillers". Not Hebrew...
Using a CGJ (or a new codepoint to define) to code this implicit
letter is not a bad idea, and it does not require changing any
combining class value.
