[Spellyans] SWF review results.

[Craig Weatherhill]

I managed to get these today.  Many items are "no change", so I've singled out those in which a change was decided upon.  The below is given in SWF/M for convenience, but the status of Traditional graphs remain unaltered.

DOUBLE CONSONANT SPELLINGS.
1.  Introduce <ll> and <rr> in roots.  Do not revert to single letter in unstressed non-final syllables where that changes the root.
2.  Introduce <ll> for <dell>, <-ell> for the suffix which implies 'tool' or 'device', e.g., dewynnell, draylell, gwariell, hornell, karrigell, musurell, pibell, rostell, skitell, skubell, skwychell, tempredhell, torgentrell, yeynell.

SHORT <o> and <u>
1. Change to <o> in <arlodh>, in line with <toll>, <tomm>, <boka>, <bronn>, <koska>

<GH> and <H>
1. <gh> everywhere except word-initially.

PARTICLE <th> in SWF/L
1. Join particle with verb as in <thera>, without a gap.

PARTICLE (ow>- RLC VARIANT <o>
1. Retain <o> (present participle), but drop the apostrophe.

<NOWYTH>
1. To be respelt <nowydh> (M), or <nowedh>.

HYPHENS
1.  Remove hyphens from numbers, particles and some other words, e.g. <ebost>.
2.  Add hyphens in loose compounds of the form 'noun + verbal noun', e.g. <jynn-skrifa>, <skath-wolya>, etc.
3.  <poslev/poslevow> to replace <poos-lev/poos-levow>.
4.  <erbynn> to replace <er-bynn>.
(but personal use to remain optional).

VOWEL LENGTH IN MONOSYLLABIC LOAN WORDS ENDING -p OR -t.
1.  To be written as <pp>, <tt> if they contain a short vowel.
2.  Accept both permissible plural endings, e.g. <hattys/hattow>

DHYWORTH/DYWORTH
1.  Accept <dhyworth> and <dyworth> as alternatives, and <dhort> and <dort> in RLC variants.

A/OA ALTERNATION
1.  Remove RLC variants <toal>, <kloav>, <gwoav>, <gwloan>, spelling them only with -a-.
2.  Add <boas>, <doas>, <moas> in RLC variants to the remaining <broas>.

<OO> for KK <OE>
1.  <goolan> to become <golan>.  Otherwise, no change.

<kk> AND <ck>
1.  <ck> to be used in all borrowings; <kk> in all other cases, including those in doubt.
2.  <okkupya> to be respelt <okupya>.

APOSTROPHES IN RLC VARIANTS
1.  Retain before nouns like <'manyn>.
2.  Do not use elsewhere where the beginning of a word has been shed, e.g. <skydnya> from <dyskynna>.
3.  Do not use internally, e.g. <metern> from <myghtern> and <mos> from <mowes>.
4.  Do not use after <kal> (KK <kalgh>).
5.  May be used where -th, -dh is dropped, e.g. pro', for', warbar'.  To be left to the discretion of individual writers.

<eu>
1.  Add SWF/L <enkladhva>, SWF/M <ynkladhva>  (presently SWF <ynkleudhva>).
2.  Allow <teudhi and <tedha> as alternative spellings.
3.  Add to SWF/L <bidhi> (currently <beudhi> only); and <briji> (currently <breuji> in SWF/L).
No change to <breusi>, <Meurth>, <feusik>.

GWR & GR (SWF/L VARIANT)
1.  Write <gwr-> in RMC and RLC, inclusing <gwra>, <gwruthyl>.

GEMINATION & PROVECTION IN SUPERLATIVES/SUBJUNCTIVES
1.  Retain <tth>, introduce corresponding <ggh>, <cch>, <ssh>.

WORTIWEDH, ETC.
1.  <wortiwedh/wostiwedh> and <wostalleth/wortalleth> to be single words, without apostrophes.

1ST PERSON SINGULAR
1  RC variant <me>, <ve>, no longer required.
