Thanks.

This is one of the extra entries we have added to our 'live' tables.
I was under the impression that Mike Gray from APH was sorting out the code and
improving the tables but he seems to have disappeared!
I'm happy to submit my revised tables if they are wanted. I went through the
examples in the UEB manual and if it showed an error I check the old uk tables
and/or us tables and if they passed I copied the relevant entry into my tables
so improved it from both. Our proof readers have hardly found any translation
errors and the ones which are outstanding are either very difficult rules or
aren't usually used in normal literature. We don't do maths or scientific etc.

Hi,
Uh oh, we need to add the following:
Syllable verse 1236-12456-234-15
In en-ueb-g2.
Cheers,

I checked with a local UEB expert, and she agrees that this is a bug.

I’m not an expert either but this could be relevant:
Rules of Unified English Braille (ICEB 2013)
Section 10.7.4 says:
Use the initial-letter contraction for "ever" when the stress is on the first
"e" and when the letters are not preceded by "e" or "i".
An example they give when it shouldn’t be used is:
eversion ⠑⠧⠻⠨⠝
"reverse" similarly has the emphasis on the second "e" so it would seem as if
"ever" contraction should not be used in this case.

I don't know the exact rules, but many contractions are allowed in UEB which
were not allowed in EBAE. For example, "sphere" can be written "s p dot-5 h".

Using en-ueb-g2, the word "reverse" is being translated using "ever" rather
than just 'er". I'm not a UEB expert, but I'm suspecting that this is incorrect.
