!!Phonetic rules

Can we write a rule to transform {{ss}} into {{šš}}? Yes, we can.
Please see documentation in separate e-mail.

!!Lule Sámi

Core alphabet:
{{{
 a á b c d e f g h i j k l m n ŋ o p q
 r s t u v w x y z å ä ø ö å æ
 -
}}}

The following characters are used in names:
{{{
 é ó ú í è ò ù ë ü ï â ê ô û î ã ý
 ç č đ ð ñ š ŧ
}}}

Not presently used, althoug defined in the Divvun source files:
{{{
 à ì þ ß ª
}}}

!!Hyphenation

Divvun has a problem with the (present) hyphenation system, it breaks down in the midle of 'a'. Divvun will continue to work on the issue, but Polderland has the Divvun Xerox-style, rewrite rules, which they can study if they find them useful.

Divvun can presently provide a subset of the data as hyphenated.

!!!TODO:
* continue to improve hyphenation (__Sjur__ and __Thomas__)
* continue with speller data generation/conversion (__Tomi__)
* continue with Office integration (__Polderland__)
* deliver updated data sets, including Lule Sámi (__Sjur__ and __Børre__)
* check Lule Sámi character set needed (cf those defined in the twol file)
  (__Sjur__)
