Ken,
Here is some background. I hadn't thought this through carefully.
opcodes such as begword and midword prevent the end of the string from
being contracted with anything that follows the syllable opcode also
prevents contraction with anything that precedes. Using the syllable
opcode at the beginning of a word would be equivalent to begword.
With this background, how would a firstsyllable opcode work? What tests
should the code perform?
