No, I didn't, thanks!

It has two buttons: CC metathesis and CV metathesis.  Is there no CCC
metathesis? :-)

That's what I planned for S11 and what seems to be strange.  E.g. I
plan to have /tsl/ > [lst] in the sandhi rules in order to enforce
falling sonority.  But when I wrote the rule, I got the feeling that
this might be too much.  The papers I read on the train (very good
sources, BTW :-)) had no examples of CCC metathesis.
