; THDL Phonetics rules for WylieWord.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
; File format: there are two sections, for rules and exceptions.
|
|||
|
|
;
|
|||
|
|
; There is one rule per line. Typically a rule has two parts,
|
|||
|
|
; separated by a space. The first part is a sequence of letters
|
|||
|
|
; that, if it appears in a Wylie transliteration, is to be replaced
|
|||
|
|
; by the second part in the phonetic transcription. The second
|
|||
|
|
; part can be missing, in which case the first part is simply
|
|||
|
|
; deleted from transcriptions when found.
|
|||
|
|
;
|
|||
|
|
; A semicolon precedes a comment. Blank lines are OK.
|
|||
|
|
;
|
|||
|
|
; The rules are applied in the order they appear in this file.
|
|||
|
|
; Each rule is applied as many times as possible, but we never
|
|||
|
|
; go back to a previous rule. (This simple rewrite-rule grammar is
|
|||
|
|
; not sufficient to implement all phonetic schemes, at least not
|
|||
|
|
; compactly. For example, it would be difficult to capture the
|
|||
|
|
; effects of preinitial consonants on tone (as in the scheme used
|
|||
|
|
; in Joe Wilson's book, for instance).) Also note that not even the
|
|||
|
|
; whole of the present scheme is implemented using these rules. In
|
|||
|
|
; particular, the deletion of prefix and superscript consonants,
|
|||
|
|
; and of wa-zur, are done in program code, not using the rules here.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
; Miscellaneous prefix transformations
|
|||
|
|
g. ; delete this (representing g prefix, used before root y only)
|
|||
|
|
dby y ; must come before db->w, for dbyang
|
|||
|
|
dbr r ; must come before db->w, for dbral
|
|||
|
|
db w ; must come before by->j
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
; c and ch are both transcribed ch. To get this we need a kludge
|
|||
|
|
; (involving x), because the rule c -> ch would apply recursively.
