[Vincent `Bentong` S. Isles]

Norbert,

Here are some records after pre-processing:

\lx abad
\ge abbot
\bw sp

\lx abag
\ge help

\lx dakbayan
\ge city
\et DAKong BAYAN

\lx kabalaka
\ge worry
\mr ka-balaka

\lx kasub-anan
\ge sadness
\mr ka-subo-anan

\lx ploresen
\ge flourescent
\bw en

\lx enter
\ge enter
\bw en

\lx karatula
\ge poster
\bw sp fi:caratula


The expected output would be:

\lx abad
\sr sp

\lx abag

\lx dakbayan
\sr DAKong BAYAN

\lx kabalaka

\lx kasub-anan
\sr ka-subo-anan

\lx ploresen
\sr en fi:flourescent

\lx enter
\sr en

\lx karatula
\sr sp fi:caratula


I'll appreciate any help you can offer :)
