Alright. > How far would rules such as. If 'A' ends in 'a' and 'B' starts with 'b' > then insert 'x' when joining A + B. Is there ever a need to insert more > than one letter.

Only if it's spelt incorrectly :-) Being able to say (C=consonant; V=vowel; Y=y hyphen; R=r hyphen; N=n hyphen): If CVC and CVV/CVC come together and the make a non-permissible consonant pair, then place Y between them. If CVV and CVC/CVV come together, then place R between them unless R creates a non-permissible consonant pair, in which case place N between them. etc... Would be great. Of course, I'd have to be able to define what a permissible consonant pair is. Also, being able to define /where/ words can connect at would be a big help in controlling compound words. -- Christopher Hornbaker Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Join the Free State Project! http://www.freestateproject.org "Liberty in Our Lifetime" Was I helpful?
