In section 3.4, UTR No. 20 speaks of « cursively-connected scripts».
(http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr20/#Deprecated)
Unicode 4.0's glossary defines cursive as « writing where the letters of a
word are connected » (I have the same definition in a large French book
about the history of calligraphy)
http://www.unicode.org/book/preview/glossary.pdf
Given this definition, isn't it redundant to speak of cursively-connected
scripts or are some cursive scripts not characterized by their letters being
connected(*) ?
P. A.
(*) Maybe some early roman cursives from the IInd-IIIrd century A.D ? But
is the definition of cursive correct then ?
