Which is why I said it wasn't your fault.

Not that I'm aware of; there are many reasons we haven't published
this yet ourselves; that's only one of them.  If I were you, I'd
check in every year or so, so you don't have to deal with us
crazies.  It is very much our (the LLG's) intention to publish "la
.alis."; it only just occured to me now that not everyone is aware
of that.  :)

A simple search and replace of "alis" => ".alis." and "i" => ".i"
will cover most of it, should you be interested in seeing what the
actual standard orthography looks like.
