Hello, As promised some time ago, I have attached a list of recommended changes to the UEB-g2 table for liblouis. If someone is able to implement these changes I would then be pleased to test the results. Some points to note: * I have listed only those items which need to be changed. * I have not dealt with shortforms in this file but have made lots of notes and can send a separate file early next year if work is not already underway on this issue? * UEB is much more liberal in the use of contractions across syllables, which is why a lot of entries can be removed. New rules are required to implement the following concepts which are new in UEB: * The standing alone rule (which defines when a wordsign can be used). * Use the alphabetic wordsign when the word it represents is followed by an apostrophe with the following letters: d, ll, re, s, t, ve * "Do not use the final-letter groupsign for "ness" when the feminine ending "ess" is added to a word ending in "en" or "in". For example, "ness" is not used in "chieftainess", "citizeness" or "heatheness". * Capitalisation passages and terminators I understand that work is already underway on other issues such as typeform indicators. Thank you!
