Though many of the key assignments might not seem intuitive, or even logical at first, they form a comprehensive whole, and the result is a flexible system for rendering Pahlavi. This is a sample text taken from the beginning of Book VII of the Pahlavi Denkard, which demonstrates the font's capabilities. We apologize for the inconvenience. Individually, most are meaningless, but when combined with their fellows they can reproduce most of the ligatures which make up cursive Pahlavi. Because they must attach seamlessly to one another, each of the partial characters must overlap into the space of the character with which it must join.
Many keystrokes produce joins on both sides, and are thus listed in several categories.
A must join with all ligatures in category B, and vice versa.
