I've managed to convert ta' Hol to Morskan successfully, with the
exception of the suffix -oy. The key is that, except for words with -oy,
any consonant followed by a vowel must be the start of a syllable. For
anyone interested, here's how to do it with regular expression matches.
First pass:
match: H(?=a|e|I|o|u)
replacement: h
match: tlh(?=a|e|I|o|u)
replacement: ghl
Second pass:
match: tlh
replacement: ts
match: H
replacement:
Third pass:
match: Q(?=a|e|I|o|u)
replacement: H
I haven't figured out yet how to match final tlh or H followed by -oy
without confusing the detection of initial tlh or H. Any suggestions on
how to detect the -oy suffix instead of a word with oy in it?
