Contextual rule for GERESH?

[Mark Davis ⌛]

That is what I was saying: the test should be changed from:

     The script of the preceding character and the subsequent
     character, if any, MUST be Hebrew.

to

     The script of the preceding character MUST be Hebrew.

or, more accurately:

     There must be a preceding character, and its script MUST be Hebrew.
