[Spellyans] Excel SWF-KK-Traditional Corpus-WIP

[Daniel Prohaska]

As far as the SWF is concerned, **Cammbron, if it were thus written, would not necessarily imply **Cabmbron. Although this would be a useful feature, there is no one-to-one correspondence between ‹mm›, ‹nn› and their pre-occluded variants ‹bm›, ‹dn›. Words spelt with ‹mm› and ‹nn› in the SWF either have variants in ‹bm›, ‹dn›, or they don’t. 

One could formulate a post hoc rule that says ‹mm› and ‹nn› doesn’t usually pre-occlude before a further consonant, but this would hardly be an exclusive rule, as there are words such as ‹pednsyvik› ‘prince’ that do pre-occlude. 

A big meur ras dhe Craig for putting in so much time and effort on the signage panel and professionalising it with his vast knowledge of Cornish place names and their history!
