Vulcan Word Generator (VWG) trials and tribulations

Hi all,

I was going over the program which generated the first two lists of
words I posted to the list, and I found several problems which kept it
from being efficient at duplicating the style of the dictionary words.
So I've recreated my attempt at dividing the vulcan dictionary words by
syllable, and I'd like to get see if anyone has problems with any of
these syllable divisions. 

They were totally arbitrarily selected if the word could have multiple
ways of dividing up the syllables. I tried, where possible, to pick syllable
combinations one did not find in english.

Please look over the list and point out any words which you think should
be pronounced differently.

I also noted that a couple of words in the dictionary used a: and e:, and I
was noting that our new list of vowels  we agreed on (during the great 
phonetic reformation :) only has these: 

i      bIt-bEAt
u      pOOl
e      bEt-bAit
o      bOtch-bOUGHt
a      bUtter
aa/ah  bArter
y      bUY, trY, sAI

So what should we convert those a:'s and e:'s into?


Thanks,

Rob Z.
