Dear gang,
It appears that \defineactivecharacter does not work in lmtx:
\starttext \defineactivecharacter Ḥ {\d{H}} \defineactivecharacter ḥ {\d{h}} \defineactivecharacter Ṣ {\d{S}} \defineactivecharacter ṣ {\d{s}} \stoptext

Using a scaled c for some c like shape is kind of bad anyway, kind of using a comma for an ogonek.
