=Improvements to Wôpanâak Transducer

• Updates to lexc
  • Removed {u} from first- and second- person suffixes, causing words such as "nutunantam" to analyze correctly. Additionally, {u} was added to third-person suffixes, allowing words like "nupuwak" to analyze correctly.
  • Fixed an overgeneration issue with intransitive verbs. Inanimate intransitive verbs can no longer receive first or second person morphology
  • Reworked transitive verbs with inanimate objects, splitting the inflection lexicon into two, one for absolute forms and one for objective forms
  • Added the "TI2" paradigm of verb stems to the transducer by sending them to a different lexicon before inflection. This has allowed the analyzer to handle words such as "ahtaw" ("have/own")

• Updates to twol
  • Updated rules for deletion of {m} and {w} to work after vowel archiphonemes as well as vowels.
  • Consolidated multiple rules sets that did the same thing to the same archiphoneme into single rules, clearing up rule conflicts in the compiler (in progress)
