Thanks for sharing. Could you provide a link or a reference, so we know how to properly describe? We try to reference all alphabets with publications.

Wikipedia has some references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARPABET

Given that it is used by the CMU pronunciation dictionary and by the TIMIT corpus, it looks a good candidate for inclusion.

These are good examples for challenging alphabets where generation won't work along the lines of the bipa and gld alphabets and our main code. It is more: long lists of potential symbol combinations, as diacritics are not defined differently from base characters. So we might think of making this another class of alphabet, similar to X-Sampa, where we'll have some file for orthography profile with mappings, and this would be all, linking directly to our main identifiers?
