"Bank 157 has only 83 instruments … that voice collapses every digraph sample above `0x53` onto one sound."	Nothing above `0x53` is a digraph. The phonology engine's maximum output is -`0x52`, plus `0x77`. Bank 157 covers the phonology range exactly; the -missing block is the editor's letter names, unreachable at spec 3. -The only real loss is `you`.
"43 of the 119 codes are unreachable through normal text … only ever hit by the anti-repetition random substitution."
