I'm looking at the parse tree for "sporte'y" as a brivla_rafsi and I don't understand it, because it shows "sporte" as a brivla_head. But that should never happen because brivla_head has a !slinkuhi guard. What's going on?

OK, I think I figured it out. The problem is that because "orte'y" is a brivla rafsi, it thinks that "porte'y" is a slinku'i, and so "sporte'y" is fine. An additional problem with the slinku'i change is that it will also not accept "sprageti'y" as a rafsi because "prageti'y" is one, but "sprageti" is not a slinku'i!

So, we must go back to the original slinkuhi rule, and we add instead three final cases to the rafsi-string rule:

slinkuhi <- consonant rafsi-string 

rafsi-string <- y-less-rafsi* (gismu / CVV-final-rafsi / stressed-y-less-rafsi short-final-rafsi / y-rafsi / stressed-y-rafsi / stressed-y-less-rafsi? initial-pair y / long-rafsi vowel h y / CCV-rafsi h y / CVV-rafsi h y)

And I think we need to add the !h in this one as well:

y-less-rafsi <- !y-rafsi (CVC-rafsi !y / CCV-rafsi / CVV-rafsi) !h !any-extended-rafsi

Fingers crossed.
