Returns an 'expanded' version of the string where reductions from compress_consonants are replaced with the original romanizations.

parse_consonants(str)

Returns a string where the consonants have been split out, delimited by hyphens. Understands geminate consonants and considers them a 'single' consonant.

parse_root(root_str,expandFinal)

Returns a table of parts of the root string is grouped by consonant and vowels. Example: "kkaalatg" > "kk","aa","l","a","tg". If expandFinal is true, returns the final part parsed out through parse_consonants The above example would be "kkaalatg" > "kk","aa","l","a","t-g". Used for inflection functions.
