PEG Morphology Algorithm

posts: 2388

Two minor questions:

Why is {ou} not allowed? I suspect the answer is
that somepeople can't distinguish between it and
{o} but that doesn't seem to be a very good
reason, since it suggests that some people
mispronounce {o} (as I know that Lojbab with his
diminished vowel set does).

Does the restriction on {ntc/nts/ndj/ndz} mean
that NONE of them can occur? This seems
excessive; at most the recogninition patterns
would require that not all of them occur, that
some distinctions are neutralized at this point.
It would seen that, for example, both {ntc} and
{ndz}(except perhaps before {i}) could both
occur.
