Sounds like it could be a good program. I bet it'll be more interesting while you're taking it :-).
I wonder if the mems have something to do with too much looking like a capital N. Since in Hebrew you're writing from the other direction, the "N" has to come from the other side, in the other direction, as it were. Maybe.

I have hopes. :-)
I think my mem problem is that the backwards form resembles (to my eye) the square-script letter, while the correct form does not. In square script the mem has a little doo-hickey (err, not ascender because it's in the body, and not serif exactly) in the upper left; the up-stroke in the backwards form maps to that in my mind. There is no vertical stroke on the right in square script, so it seems odd to have a stray one here.
No I'm not really trying to apply logic to an alphabet -- just trying to disect the connections that have formed in my mind.
