+Although the graphic combination of the 
+ḍamma
+ with the letter 
+wāw
+ followed by the letter 
+alif 
+ surmounted by a 
+sukūn
+ sign occurs both in Hausa manuscripts and in those of the Kanuri/Kanembu area, its use, unlike in Kanembu/Kanuri, is not restricted to encoding /o/. It might be argued that this feature was borrowed from the Borno tradition, but it became more decorative than graphemic.
