+# Changelog:
+#
+# 2000-01-05 Björn Jacke <bjoern.jacke@gmx.de>
+# - first version with translation rules derived from
+# metaphone.cc distributed with aspell 0.28.3
+# - "TH" is now representated as "@" because "0" is a
+# meta character
+# - removed TH(!vowel) --> T; always use TH --> # instead
+# - dropped "^AE" -> "E" (redundant)
+# - "ing" is transformed to "N", not "NK"
+# - "SCH(EO)" transforms to "SK" now
+# - added R --> SILENT if (after a vowel) and no (vowel or
+# "y" follows) like in "Marcy" or "abort"
+# - H is SILENT in RH at beginning of words
+# - H is SILENT if vowel leads and "Y" follows
+# - some ".OUGH.." --> ...F exceptions added
+# - "^V" transforms to "W"
