It=E2=80=99s one of the more interesting uses of the concept of =
distributed computing that I=E2=80=99ve seen. The benefits are obvious.
I wonder if you could modify it to replace the glottal stop during =
import with a character that didn=E2=80=99t trigger the problems you =
note, and if you could introduce that replacement character for any =
searches involving the glottal stop.
I have a much more primitive database that I have to manually maintain. =
I get around the apostrophe problem by having a sort field that uses the =
characters replacements:
a=3Da
b=3Db
ch=3Dc
D=3Dd
e=3De
gh=3Dg
H=3Dh
I=3Di
j=3Dj
l=3Dl
m=3Dm
n=3Dn1
ng=3Dn2
o=3Do
p=3Dp
q=3Dq1
Q=3Dq2
r=3Dr
S=3Ds
t=3Dt1
tlh=3Dt2
u=3Du
v=3Dv
w=3Dw
y=3Dy
=E2=80=98=3Dz
I manually create a spelling for each word during entry, like the sort =
field for {Qu=E2=80=99vatlh} is =E2=80=9Cq2uzvat2=E2=80=9D, and then if =
I=E2=80=99m searching for a Klingon word, I just search for the entry in =
the sort field, which uses =E2=80=9Cz=E2=80=9D instead of an apostrophe =
for the glottal stop, to avoid bad behavior on the part of the search =
engine.
As I said, it=E2=80=99s primitive. The variety of tools is one of the =
things that proves the creativity of different Klingon speakers.
