Hi, Ray.

I think we have a winner here!  You can see what we've got so far at
the bottom of http://lfn.esef.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/TraScrive  If you
see the need for correction, feel free.

I don't know Chinese (I've studied it for grammar, etc, only), but from
my sources, it seems that you can have ei and o.  It is a difficulty
for LFN, since we do not distinguish between e and ei or between o and
ou, but since if it differentiates chinese words, we will have to leave
it in -- unless you tell me that the distinction is not meaningful in
chinese either!

The only problem I can see it that I believe there is a distinction in
pinyin between liu and lü, and between niu and nü.  Since we do not use
an umlaut, we cannot make the distinction in LFN.  Of course, in
technical work with the chinese language, people can do whatever they
need to.  We don't even distinguish the tones in ordinary, day-to-day
transciption!

Thanks for your contributions!

George
