  Thanks all for your good wishes :-)

  I’d like to resume the conversation now.  We left off at the choice of
a name for the new patterns.  I’m still not convinced by the label
“basic”, because it cannot be used either as a description or a
reference.  I suggested something derived from “one-consonant rule”,
because that’s what the patterns implement, much more closely than the
original patterns for Finnish, that hyphenate for example
“de-mo-kraat-ti”, “kon-kreet-ti-nen”, and -- at least on principle --
try to break at word boundary in compounds.  But we can also choose
another name.  You write that these rules are taught in school in
Finland.  What about “school”?

	Best,
