Jay:
Your algorithm is very useful. I just want to add one more point. Pl. check.
You wrote:
"Branch 2.0, Step 3: What precedes? if other than 'a',
do nothing, if 'a' precedes then go to the next step
Type 2.0.0 (other than 'a' precedes),
kavir asti/kavir gadati
(there is nothing more to do, this is the final form)"
Modification:
Branch 2.0, Step 3: What precedes? if other than 'a',
do nothing, if 'a' precedes then go to the next step
Type 2.0.0 (other than 'a' precedes),
kavir asti/kavir gadati
**If repha follows then 'r' is dropped and the preceding hrasva vowel is
lengthened.
agnir rohati--->agnii rohati**
(there is nothing more to do, this is the final form)
The only other issue that needs to be addressed in the algorithm is the
subsequent sandhi. Could you please clarify where sandhi should NOT take
place.
