I can add sanskit patterns to the distribution but I wonder: how does this interact with reordering in fonts? Do we need to postpone hyphenation till after reordering?

If you mean glyph reordering in Indic scripts, it should happen later than hyphenation; it’s no different than ligatures in Latin in that respect. But I don’t know how it is implemented in ConTeXt ... The existing patterns don’t hyphenate any reordering sign (or indeed any dependent vowel sign). If they do, it’s a bug and we need to fix it :-) Note that Jürgen mentioned Latin transliteration where glyph reordering is not an issue (but ligatures of course are). Best, Arthur
