Apparently, there seems to be a distinction between a triseme and a
reversed triseme (actually both are trisemes).
A triseme made up of a ¯ ˘ (long then short) would be shown as _| ; one
made up of a ˘ ¯ (short then long) is apparently shown as |_.
Does anybody know more of such a potential distinction ?
