Re: Akkha script (used by Eastern Magar language) in ISO 15924?

See the entry for "Magar Akkha" on:

http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/scripts-not-encoded.html

Anshuman Pandey did preliminary research on this in 2011.

http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2011/11144-magar-akkha.pdf

It would be premature to assign an ISO 15924 script code, pending the
research to determine whether this script should be separately encoded.
