Hi,

As per my observations only blwf and akhn has difference between knda and knda2. Following table shows the difference

          knda            knd2
blwf     c + h           h +c
akhn    c + h           h + c

where h is halant and c is consonant.

I implemented this in Gubbi(Still has some issues), GSUB rules can be referred here.
https://github.com/aravindavk/Gubbi/blob/master/tools/gsub.fea

That is very useful. We definitely refer gubbi feature file.

Thanks,
