Now I have a little sed script to convert lowercase tlhIngan Hol to
tlhIngan-cased tlhingan Hol. Problems: if you have English text mixed
in it tries to treat it like tlhIngan Hol and there's no way to delimit
it now. Also, Q and q need to be distinguished by the user when typed.
It also uses k internally so if your English text uses, e.g. ck, it will
change it to ch. (the perl version only has this problem with qk).
Here's the sed script:
s/Q/qk/g;
y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/;
s/qk/Q/g;
s/d/D/g;
s/i/I/g;
s/s/S/g;
s/gh/gk/g;
s/ch/ck/g;
s/tlh/tk/g;
s/h/H/g;
s/gk/gh/g;
s/ck/ch/g;
s/tk/tlh/g;
For those of you who like perl:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# Modify the above to where you keep perl on your system
# If you don't have perl, build it!
while (<>) {
s/Q/qk/g;
tr/A-Z/a-z/;
s/qk/Q/g;
s/d/D/g;
s/i/I/g;
s/s/S/g;
s/([^gcl]|[^t]l)h/\1H/g;
print;
}
I would write something to change tlhIngan-case to normal-looking case
but I couldn't figure out what normal-looking case should be like.
