- [] Some demo rules for Turkish Phonology
- [] based on 'Turkish Grammar' by Robert Underhill, MIT Press
- [] I skimmed the first 46 pages to put together a demo, so caveat emptor!
- []
- [] Note: ï is the no dot i, Ñ is ng, capitals for BACK/front consonants,
- [] $ for sh, the rest as in Turkish alphabet or standard use
- [] No, I don't know what the n in reng 'color' is supposed to be.
- [] Word combinations to try: << #root+tense+person# or #root+number+case#
- [] Load turk.fbf for a bunch of examples.
