Hi all,

I have some students trying to trigger alternations across word boundaries
like the following:
inh japỹ / ijapỹ
inh tũ / isũ

These alternations consistently triggered with certain common words that
end in "nh".

They're using lexc/twol for the morphological generator.

Our first approach was to put a literal ~ in "inh", i.e., the form was
"i~nh".  This successfully triggered <a /> in the post-dix, though we got
slightly mangled output:
ij\/japỹ (or similar)

Also, this isn't quite an ideal approach.  I suppose we could fairly easily
automate the insertion of ~ before every nh in the lttoolbox (bin) version
of the HFST transducer.  But it still seems to be somewhat buggy.

Are there any other solutions that people have gotten to work?
