Re: [bpfk] official cmavo form

[Alex Burka <aburka@seas.upenn.edu>]

The preprocessor thing doesn't make a ton of sense to me. Does anyone else support this "dialectal variation"? We don't preprocess {ie} to {i'e}, so I don't see the point in changing ?{jie} to {ji'e}. They're quite different sounds, and moreover different syllable counts, so you'll be complecting the stress and word segmentation rules as well as breaking audiovisual isomorphism.

As for the larger question, I don't have a very strong opinion. I lean towards consistency (that would be banning it or allowing it everywhere). If we do allow it, maybe the sibilants should still be an exception for ease of pronunciation (I don't have trouble with ?{guaspi}, but ?{jiespi} and ?{ciaspi} are difficult).

So if we're approval-voting: 1.1.2 + 2. But I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

I can live with this, but I'd prefer to ban it altogether.

It depends on in what way should it be banned. 

I vote for banning it from the formal grammar however, I vote for the preprocessor to be able to autocorrect {jie} back to {ji'e}. Speech recognition must be able to recognize both variants.
