   A program that would accept a list of roots and
sound changes, and output the result of applying those
sound changes. It would accept digraphs (or even use
only digraphs), accept categories (V=any vowel), apply
subrules (vowel lengthening with consonant loss, for
example), optional choices in the environment, and so
on. The Sound change program on the valdyas website is
great, but doesn't work very well because it is
limited to single phonemes. That means that if two
phonemes combine to create one (/s/+/j/ > /S/, for
example), the program applies rules to the /j/ after
it has supposedly merged the two.

  To be honest, I'd love to see a good program for
this from anyone....
