Subject: Regex: Up for a challenge?

Hello,
Just having an outstandingly hard time to even come close to being able
to translate the following string sequences in one or a series of
regular expressions. These are allowable prefix combinations in a
language I'm doing some text analysis on.

i pa(ki) pag
ma i ka pa(ki) pag
ma pa ka
ma(ki) pag ka
man
m(an) ag ka sin
m(an) ag kan(da)
m(an) ag si(pag)
m(an) ag pa

The first one allows the following choices:
i, pa, pag, ipa, ipag, ipapag, papag, ipaki, ipakipag, paki, pakipag

The syllable inside parentheses can only be selected if the syllable or
letter it is attached to is selected.

Just something to take our minds away from Eckel-ysteria.

Thanks again,
basi
