[quote Morrígan]Ultimately, this SCA is part of another system for hypothesis testing proposed reconstructions and sets of rules deriving child forms from them. The fact that it's usable by humans too is an added bonus. IMO, the most important contribution is that it can be used with a feature model, and understands (by default, though you can turn it off) that pʰ is different from p, and that a rule affecting the latter will not affect the former.[/quote]
I think the issue is more that...

I can do both of those examples. Syllables are a little hard, but I think the approach I've got in mind for metathesis should also work for syllables generally.
Rule feeding and bleeding is definitely hard. Something I'd kind of like to do is analyze rules and produce a graph that examines which rules interact with each other, and which rules are unordered with respect to one another.

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows li...

Metathesis might not actually be too difficult, though every time I've thought some thing like that I've been wrong. I get the feeling that the solution lies somewhere inside a LinkedHashMap, which might be a good way of doing this one thing in general.
Right now I'm finishing up adding support of legacy segmentation (that is, no special segmentation) and normalization control. The test version used canonical decomposition, and future versions will do so by default, but you can turn it ...
