What is "imfi"

IMFI is an acronym for Initial, Medial, Final, Isolated, a writing system in which each character has four different potential shapes:

• initial - used for the first character in a word
• medial - used in the middle of a word
• final - used for the last character in a word
• isolated - used for single-letter words

The Arabic script is an example of an IMFI writing system.
