Not at all ! May be with supplementary markup of my sentence
it will be more clear:
A "starter sequence" (defective or not) is then an
_unordered_ set of {
_ordered_ sequences of {
characters having the same combining class
}
}.
Then look at where I used the term "set" defined by this sentence, and the
term "element" refers to element of the unordered set, i.e. the "ordered
sequence of characters having the same combining class".
And no, I did not mix lists. The initial thread was in the main Unicode list
as it is a generic problem not specific to Hebrew, but to terminologic and
definition problems.
