Do not even try to explain *all* cases with your rules. If you really have a
lot of irregularities, one level of rules with at most one level of subrules is
enough (if you don't need too many subrules). In most cases, just one main rule
and treat the rest as irregular is enough. I did that in Maggel, although often
some irregularities can be explained with subrules themselves divided in
subsubrules, etc... Sometimes it's just useless to try to categorise all the
patterns you find.
