Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I have been using wrong terminology here.

I was using Samanala scheme (the LKLUG font outlines also came from
Samanala fonts), but hadn't encountered Sumihiri before. I tried to
look for it after you mentioned, but the only reference I could find
on Sumihiri was:
http://www.ruh.ac.lk/Songs/Sumihiri.html
And yes, it is awfully similar. So shall we name the keymap as
Sumihiri instead? (in that way original creator(s) of Sumihiri also
get the due credit. :-))
There are few differences. For example, I was using A instead of z.
But it seems that Sumihiri one seems to be a bit easier because you
don't need to press the Shift key.
Have you got a link or any documentation on the Sumihiri scheme?
