i see... meaning this one:

PFX B Y 1
PFX B   b bin    b[aeiou]

PFX K Y 1
PFX K   k kin    k[aeiou]

PFX D Y 1
PFX D   d din    d[aeiou]

PFX G Y 1
PFX G   g gin    g[aeiou]

PFX H Y 1
PFX H   h hin    h[aeiou]

PFX M Y 1
PFX M   m min    m[aeiou]

PFX N Y 1
PFX N   n nin    n[aeiou]

PFX P Y 1
PFX P   p pin    p[aeiou]

PFX S Y 1
PFX S   s sin    s[aeiou]

PFX T Y 1
PFX T   t tin    t[aeiou]

PFX W Y 1
PFX W   w win    w[aeiou]

PFX Y Y 1
PFX Y   y yin    y[aeiou]

... can be written under one flag... and under that flag, there are 12 
rules representing each of these?

i see. does this:
SFX G 0 ng     [aeiou][dlrst]
mean words that have either a,e,i,o,u as 2nd to the last and d,l,r,s,t 
as the last letter?

so it's: enclosed in brackets = either one of these letters
and no brackets = these letters specifically and in that order?

i'll get started on reading the link you gave plus other information. i 
do hope i can still get quick information through this thread. thanks a 
lot.
