+Doubles created when adding a suffix: these are undoubled when stemmed +
+A valid letter that can come before ‘li’ (or ‘ly’) +
+A specification for a short syllable. +
++A short syllable in a word is either: +
++a vowel followed by a non-vowel other than w, x or Y and preceded by a +non-vowel, or +
++a vowel at the beginning of the word followed by a non-vowel. +
++(The original document is silent on whether sequences of two or more +non-vowels make a syllable long. But as this specification is only used to +find sequences of non-vowel - vowel - non-vowel - end-of-word, this +ambiguity does not have an effect.) +
