Phoneme Phixes

[John A. Wasser]

	ENGLISH TO PHONEME FIXES

	Here are some bug fixes for ENGLISH.C (the English to Phoneme
	rules).  Mostly the order of "^" (one consonant) and ":" (zero
	or more consonants) have to be reversed because they are parsed
	from right to left (because the sequence "^:" only appears in 
	the left context part).  One rule (for "U") got garbled and
	the letter "H" had been left out of the special case for 
	"WHERE".

	My thanks to Larry R. Custead (U. of Saskatchewan) for pointing
	these problems out.
