orth Lustig 2010.ods.zip Here is the orthography profile.

A phoneme list is a bit more tricky. Lustig is much more sophisticated than most of our folks. So, his phonetics are very detailed and his orthography is perfectly phonemic. So, I propose that the phoneme inventory should actually be written out in his orthography.

Let me know.

Something important I didn't mention. Lustig uses v to mean creaky phonation on the vowel. He puts the v right after the initial and before glides. cvyung for example means tʃṵŋ. This will be hard to model / convert.

This means, we need to enumerate all instances whith a v in initial position (or postinitial, before vowel), along with the vowels that follow, etc., which will blow up the profile. But I don't have a problem with redundancy, as long as it works. Orthography profiles also offer the possibility to use regular expressions, but so far I have tried to avoid them, as they add a level of complexity that is difficult to debug and requires also to know the orders. Here, however, it may be the right place to apply it. I'll think about it.

I can do a longish profile, but I would need you to generate the list like last time, of everything that happens before a vowel and everything that happens after. (It will still be complicated because the creaky symbol will have to be ex post facto moved from initial to final, but if the orthography profile puts the vowels with the initial then i will have to effectively transcribe every legal syllable in the language, which I would prefer not to do).
